Climate warming and increasing aridity may negatively impact forest productivity across southern Europe. A better understanding of growth responses to climate and drought in southernmost populations could provide insight on the vulnerability of those forests to aridification. Here we investigate growth responses to climate and drought in nine Pinus pinaster (maritime pine) stands situated in Andalusia, southern Europe. The effect of climatic variables (temperatures and precipitation) and drought on radial growth was studied using dendrochronology along biogeographic and ecological gradients. We analyzed old native stands with non-tapped and resin-tapped trees mixed, showing their usefulness in dendroclimatic studies. Our results indicate a high plasticity in the growth responses of maritime pine to climate and drought, suggesting that site aridity modulated these responses. The positive growth responses to spring precipitation and the negative responses to summer drought were stronger in the more xeric inland sites than in wet coastal ones, in particular from the 1980s onwards. The characterization of tree species' responses to climate at the southern or dry limits in relation to site conditions allows improving conservation strategies in drought-prone forest ecosystems.
