a) Winter (years 1992–2003) and b) summer (years 1992–2014). Statistics show the model averaged results from across the best supported models (listed in Additional file 1: Table S2). T depicts Temperature, R precipitation, DecJan the months of December and January combined, FebMar is February and March combined. SGS indicates the start of the growth season of trees. Significant variables are highlighted in bold font
