Douglas-fir is the most widespread commerical conifer species in the US and occurs across almost all mountain ranges in the western US. I have built a network of chronologies across the US range of Douglas-fir to (1) identify where the species is water-limited versus energy-limited, and (2) understand the spatial and temporal dynamics of any quantifiable differences in limiting factors.
