In this study, we made use of a regional oak tree-ring network from six stands that cover the northern Moldavian Plateau (Eastern Europe) to analyze how different tree ring parameters (i.e., early wood tree-ring width, late wood tree-ring width, and total tree-ring width) of Quercus sp. are...

Drought-induced forest decline and mortality have become increasingly widespread around the globe, while thinning is considered to be an effective measure in forestry to enhance tree growth and forest health particularly in water-limited areas. Nevertheless, there is a keen lack of comprehensive...

Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. Mongolica) is among the most commonly used coniferous afforestation tree species for building shelter forests in vast areas of northern China, yet it is at a high risk of mortality in the context of increased frequency of extreme drought events associated with...

Pinus roxburghii Sarg. is a keystone gymnosperm tree of Western Himalayan subtropical forests of Kashmir region. It is a good choice for dendrochronological investigations as its core samples have potential to reflect changes in climatic pattern its growth rings. The present dendrochronological...

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 study primarily focuses on the evaluation of carbon sequestration capability of seven tree species (Conocarpus erectus, Azadirachta indica, Vachellia nilotica, Delonix regia, Parkinsonia aculeate, Cassia fistula and Guaiacum officinale) commonly growing on roadsides and off-roadsides in Karachi ...

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. ...

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...

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...
