Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Girdling resulted in immediate reduction in radial growth of the segment below the girdle (L) and later of the base of the stem (B), whereas growth of the upper segment (U) increased significantly (Figure 3).
Detailed explanation-2: -Girdling results in the death of the area above the girdle over time. A branch completely girdled will fail and when the main trunk of a tree is girdled, the entire tree will die, if it cannot regrow from above to bridge the wound.
