The resource Climate is a stronger driver of tree and forest growth rates than soil and disturbance (https://www.jstor.org/stable/41058855) is a peer-reviewed report published in the British Journal of Ecology. It is co-authored by eleven ecology academics from organizations with excellent credentials. Since this was a study conducted by numerous professionals, published in a leading journal, peer-reviewed, and based on extensive primary research, I found that this resource to be a top-quality and reliable scientific source. Its conclusions are important in the age of climate change. The one possible drawback of this paper is that it was published in 2011 and while still presenting valid conclusions, there may be newer resources incorporating more recent data.
