Soil moisture gradients and climate change: predicting growth of a critical boreal tree species.

The article provides information on a study which examined the effect of annual variability in climatic conditions on the growth and performance of Pinus banksiana stands growing under different soil moisture conditions. Topics discussed include potential effect of forecasted climate for the region on the future growth of individuals, and whether P. banksiana should continue to be planted across these soil moisture gradients in the future.
