Abstract

The combined effects of rising temperature, elevated atmospheric CO2 levels and warming-induced droughts have led to an increase in tree intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). However, how and to what extent increasing iWUE compensates for tree growth in bioclimatic regions is not well understood....

Abstract

Tree populations at the alpine timberline are highly sensitive and vulnerable to environmental change, but how climate change alters the spatiotemporal dynamics of tree radial growth at the alpine timberline remains a critical uncertainty of forest ecosystem change. We collected 480 tree-ring cores ...

Abstract

Floodplain forests are sensitive to climate warming and increased drought, as showed by recent oak (Quercus robur) dieback and mortality episodes. However, a comprehensive comparison of coexisting tree species under different climate settings or biomes are lacking. Herein, we compared growth rates, ...

Abstract

Long-term records of tree-ring width (TRW), latewood maximum density (MXD) and blue intensity (BI) measurements on conifers have been largely used to develop high-resolution temperature reconstructions in cool temperate forests. However, the potential of latewood blue intensity (LWBI), less...

Abstract

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...

Abstract

Climatic factors play an essential role in the growth of tree ring width. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between climatic variables and tree-ring growth characteristics of Pinus sibirica in Altai mountains, northwestern China. This study being is first of its kind on climate...

Abstract

Severe drought events negatively affect tree growth and often cause legacy effects, expressed by smaller tree rings in the post-drought recovery years. While the pattern of reduced tree-ring widths is frequently described the processes underlying such legacy effects, i.e., whether it is due to...

AbstractFull Text

Lowland forests benefiting from groundwater availability are important ecosystems in Central Europe, both from ecological and economic perspectives. Besides a great reduction in their extent in the historical times and further shifts in the land use and water management regimes intensified during...

Abstract

Arboreal species of the genus Prosopis L. have played an important role in the development of tree-ring research in arid and semi-arid ecoregions of South America. Given the distribution of Prosopis across a broad precipitation gradient from 0 to 2000 mm y-1 and its unique role as a phreatophyte,...

Abstract

Sessile oak (Quercus petraea [Matt.] Liebl.) and Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) dominated mixed forests are common in low montane and hilly regions in Hungary. Here, we aimed to describe the long-term pattern and climatic responses of the radial growth of Q. petraea and Q. cerris in a xeric...
