Comment :

Re-computation of the data in Ref. 1014, assuming one scale ring per year. Hans Fricke (pers. comm.) has observed individuals for more than 10 years, thus supporting our assumption of one ring per year and refuting the previous tmax of 10 years. Growth estimates outlier in auximetric graph? Yes.
