Abstract
Solar energy, water, and nutrients are necessary for plant growth, but nevertheless it has been difficult to construct a quantitative tree growth theory including the dynamics of water, nutrients, and carbon. This shows that we still do not understand the combined, dynamic effect of the essential elements that determine growth processes.
