Mean ring density is indicated by grey dots super-imposed on the box plots in Fig. 4.
Model performance statistics suggested a relatively strong relationship between actual and estimated mean ring density (Table 4).
Radial trends in mean ring density were unique to each taxon with considerable variation due to individual trees (Fig. 4).
Mean ring density of Lusitanica was significantly less than that of Leyland (until ring 10) and of Macrocarpa (until ring 13).
For Macrocarpa, mean ring density followed a relatively flat gradient, with a slight trough in the first 3 years and a slight ridge at 11 years.
For Lusitanica, mean ring density followed an approximate parabolic form for the first 10 years, with an initial density of 456 kg.m−3 and a minimum of 385 kg.m−3 at 6 years.

It is important to note that this result applies to individual trees within a stand, not to stands growing at different stand densities at the same site, where mean wood density is related to mean ring width.
These could be obtained from outerwood cores taken from a sample of trees, in which case the mean ring number and ring width of the density sample would be used.
When Ring = 16 (the mean ring number of a 5-ring outerwood core collected from a 20-year-old tree after allowing 1.5 years for the stem to attain breast height), the model estimates the Wood Density Index.
The present study adds support for another proxy for tree growth: ring density.
Tree rings were counted within each cube to obtain tree ring density (Figure 2).
