Tree-rings growth is a data bank that, if correctly interpreted in detail, can help elucidate climatic events of the past. To make more assertive interpretations it is necessary to use information from weather stations near the study sites. The objective of the present study was to determine if...

The strength of dendrochronology is chronology. No other non-textual dating technique in the world provides the precision, accuracy, and resolution of dendrochronology. Indeed, dendrochronology is famous for dating prehistoric ruins, and Douglass' "Bridging the Gap" is still considered one of the...

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...

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...

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...

Modification of forest trees can occur from a variety of factors. Both cultural and natural processes can injure trees and many injuries can be dated dendrochronologically. Distinguishing between types of injuries, however, is important for understanding past human land-use practices and...

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...

The hydroclimatic reconstruction is relevant to understand how a forest watershed works and take decisions about its management. In this study the precipitation and streamflow on Piaxtla river watershed was reconstructed, using tree-ring width index values from Pseudostuga menziesii. From seven...

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...

Dendrochronology is a useful tool for analyzing the relationships between climate and trees. However, there are few studies in Mexico that have examined details of how the sensibility of radial growth in Pinus cooperi can vary according to the local climate. Understanding the implications of each...
