Abstract

Using dendroclimatological techniques this study investigates whether inner city tree-ring width (TRW) chronologies from eight tree species (ash, beech, fir, larch, lime, sessile and pedunculate oak, and pine) are suitable to examine the urban heat island of Berlin, Germany. Climate-growth...

Abstract

A small wooden cabin has been analyzed through dendrochronology. The artifact is a choir built by the lords to attend sacred functions while separated from the rest of the hall. The artwork was attributed to the workshop of Arduino da Baiso, but the wooden structure is not entirely convincing...

Abstract

The history of drought occurrence in Poland in the last millennium is poorly known. To improve this knowledge we have conducted a comprehensive analysis using both proxy data (documentary and dendrochronological) and instrumental measurements of precipitation. The paper presents the main features...

Abstract

Dendroclimatology in the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) region has made important contributions to the understanding of climate variability on timescales of decades to centuries. These contributions, beginning in the mid-20th century, have value for resource management, archaeology, and climatology. A...

Abstract

Improved understanding of climate-growth relationships of multiple species is fundamental to understanding and predicting the response of forest growth to future climate change. Forests are mainly composed of conifers in Northwestern Yunnan Plateau, but variations of growth response to climate...

Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the dendroclimatic potential of three conifer species, viz. Taxus cuspidata, Abies koreana, and Pinus koraiensis, in the subalpine zone in the Republic of Korea. The tree-ring δ18O chronologies were analyzed for the last 50 years and were found to be well...

Abstract

Drought in Guatemala has negative consequences for agriculture and potable water supplies, particularly in regions of the country with highly seasonal rainfall. General circulation models suggest that a decrease in both winter and summer rainfall over Central America is likely and imminent as a...

Abstract

In comparison to trees that grow in arid areas, those growing in humid areas usually have ambiguous climatic information recorded in their ring widths. In this study, ring width samples of Abies chensiensis, collected from the headwaters of the Jialing River in the mid-Qinling Mountains, were used...

Abstract

Tree rings are widely used to reconstruct past climates in regions where observational records of climate are short. In this study, we developed a 294 years-long (1718-2011 CE) ring-width chronology of the Himalayan Silver fir (Abies spectabilis (D. Don, Spach)) from Humla district in western Nepal ...

AbstractFull Text

Jalisco fir (Abies jaliscana) is an endemic tree with restricted distribution, and is considered a Pliocene relict inhabiting the cloud montane forests in the humid-temperate upper zone of western Jalisco Mountains. Despite its ecological importance, to date, there are no studies for this taxon...
