Giant saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the longest-lived and massive cacti species in the Americas. They occur throughout the Sonoran Desert region with a distribution spanning a five-fold gradient in mean annual precipitation. Relationships between fitness traits, including stem growth, and spatio-temporal climate patterns are still poorly understood in saguaro, but are assumed to be largely coupled to summer precipitation. To better understand patterns of climate sensitivity in giant saguaro, annual stem growth, carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) in spine tissues, and seasonal variation in stem volume, a proxy for stem water storage, were evaluated over a single growing season (2014) in six widely distributed populations in the northern S...
