%X Background and Aims Trees invest in both primary (e.g. height) and secondary (e.g. diameter) growth. The trade-off between these investments varies between species and changes with the tree growing environment. To better establish this trade-off, readily available allometric exponents relating height to diameter at breast height (¦Ãh,dbh) and stem volume to diameter at breast height (¦Áv,dbh) were simultaneously studied
