Abstract

Tree rings are widely used for climatic reconstructions and for improving our understanding of ongoing climate change in high-altitude sensitive areas. X-ray maximum latewood density is a very powerful parameter to reconstruct past climatic variations, especially if compared to tree-ring width, but ...

Abstract

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 ...

Abstract

Cellulose content (CC (%)) in tree rings is usually utilised as a tool to control the quality of the cellulose extraction from tree rings in the preparation of stable-isotope analysis in wooden tissues. Reported amounts of CC (%) are often limited to mean values per tree. For the first time, CC (%) ...

Abstract

Age-related trends are present in tree-ring widths (TRW), but their presence in tree rings isotope is debated. It is unclear how cambial age influences the relationships between TRW and isotopes. Tree-ring isotopes of alpine larch and cembran-pine trees showed only trends in the juvenile period...

Abstract

High-elevation ecosystems are one of the most sensitive to climate change. The analysis of growth and xylem structure of trees from marginal populations, especially the ones growing at the treeline, could provide early-warning signs to better understand species-specific responses to future climate...

Abstract

We present a comparative study on a 700-yr sequence of dendrochronologically ordered tree-rings of Pinus cembra originating from Eastern Carpathians for the period AD 1009-1709. This period covers the solar minima of the Little Ice Age. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of our...

Abstract

Tree rings are an ecological indicator, useful for studying the adaptation of trees in a changing environment, especially in the unique habitat of high-elevation cliff forests. The main aim of this study was to characterize tree-ring changes in Stone pine (Pinus cembra L.) growing in the extreme...

Abstract

Climate sensitivity of populations at the margins of their distribution range is of key importance to understand species' responses to future warming conditions. Pinus cembra is of particular interest being a typical high-elevation taxon, spread with mostly scattered populations within its actual...

Abstract

Sub-fossil wood is often affected by the decaying process that introduces uncertainties in the measurement of oxygen and carbon stable isotope composition in cellulose. Although the cellulose stable isotopes are widely used as climatic proxies, our understanding of processes controlling their...

Abstract

This study is located in two neighboring mountain sites, Rarău and Giumalău in Bucovina area. Here, were made four dendrochronological series, two series on spruce and one on fir and stone pine. The studies related a tight connection and a significantly correlation between radial growth and studied ...
