Both spatial repetitions, (i.e. different axis types) and temporal repetitions (i.e. successive ages of trees) wereconsidered in a mixed linear model of repeated data.• A significant genotype effect was found for most studied traits and interactions between genotype and year and/or age were also detected. The analysis of repeated temporal measures highlighted that the magnitude of the decrease in primary growth is mainly determined by the first year of growth, and the decrease in bottomdiameter increment is concomitant with the first fruiting occurrence.• This approach allowed us to distinguish among the traits that were under genetic control, those for which this control is exerted differentially throughout tree life or depending on climatic conditions or an axis type. Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are specific to these different effects will constitute the next step in the research.
