Tree rings form the backbone of high-resolution palaeoclimatology and represent one of the most frequently used proxy to reconstruct climate variability of the Common Era. In the European Alps, reconstructions were often based on tree-ring width (TRW) and maximum latewood density (MXD) series, with...

The frequency and intensity of drought events are increasing worldwide, challenging the adaptive capacity of several tree species. Here, we evaluate tree growth patterns and climate sensitivity to precipitation, temperature, and drought in the relict Moroccan fir Abies marocana. We selected two...

The chronology of past landslide movements is a key source of information for effective landslide hazard determination. Dendrogeomorphological methods are currently an effective tool for obtaining chronological data but still encounter limitations in extracting landslide signals from yearly series....

Across western Canada, more frequent and severe droughts are expected to occur as a result of climate change. Forests are particularly vulnerable to drought as it often results in mortality events even years following a moisture deficit. Similar events have been observed in Saskatchewan...

Several thousand years ago, around 1500 B.C., one of the largest volcanic events in recorded history shook the world. The Minoan eruption of Thera,...
This is Document Série FORAFRI No. 15. It presents the results of diameter increment studies of ayous (Triplochiton scleroxylon) and sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum). Measurements were made in natural forest plots in the Sangha Mbaere region of the Central African Republic. Results are compared...
