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...

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 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...
