Introduction: Dendroclimatic reconstructions in water-yield basins lacking hydroclimatic data, such as the Rio Sabinas is important to analyze its interannual and multiannual climatic variability. One of the species useful for this purpose is the Montezuma baldcypress (Taxodium mucronatum Ten.), a...

Pinus lumholtzii is widely distributed in the Western Sierra Madre. It grows mainly in rocky outcrop sites; therefore, its annual growth rings may be sensitive to climatic variables. Ring-width chronologies of Pinus lumholtzii from sites in southern Durango were developed in order to analyze its...

The pinyon pines, Pinus cembroides and P. nelsonii, offer a unique example of the dendroclimatic potential of semiarid species for reconstructing cyclic low-frequency fluctuations of droughts and pluvials in northeastern semiarid Mexico. This study presents a new ring-width chronology of pinyon...

Dendroclimatic reconstructions in agricultural basins lacking streamflow data such as the Mayo river basin (MRB) in Northern, Mexico, are important to analyze the interannual and multiannual climatic variability and streamflow volumes used for agricultural purposes. The objective of this study was...

A central challenge in global change research is the projection of the future behavior of a system based upon past observations. Tree-ring data have been used increasingly over the last decade to project tree growth and forest ecosystem vulnerability under future climate conditions. But how can the ...

Introduction: Dendrochronological studies in Mexico have been mainly based on conifers, while hardwood species have been little studied. This has been the case of the genus Quercus, which has a high taxonomic diversity in the country but has not been previously studied for dendrochronological...

The baldcypress (Taxodium mucronatum Ten.) is a long-lived species and Mexico's national tree. The objective of this study was to analyze the dendroclimatic response of baldcypress at sites located on the transitional zone between the semiarid and subtropical regions of Mexico, known as the Middle...

This study analyzed the climatic response, dendrochronological potential, and influence of oceanic-atmospheric phenomena in tree-rings of Pinus hartwegii Lindl. in 3 sites in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. From 36 to 40 growth nuclei per site were sampled. The samples were analyzed and dated...

The oyamel forests, as Abies dominated forests are commonly known as, register their largest distribution (95% of their population) along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB). Although efforts have been made to study these forests with various approaches, dendrochronology-based studies have been...

Studies of forest growth under induced climatic variations allow estimating the intensity of impacts on forest ecosystems and understanding them. In the present study, the climatic response of Pinus cembroides radial increase was evaluated based on precipitation and average temperature (maximum,...
