Forest plantations are more vulnerable to the stress induced by biotic and abiotic factors than are naturally regenerated forests. These effects can be aggravated by a lack of management in large reforestation areas, and thinning could, therefore, help trees to reduce dieback and tree mortality...

Drought is one of the main natural factors in declining tree-ring growth and the production of agricultural crops in Algeria. This paper addresses the variability of growing conditions for wheat in Algeria with climatic data and a tree-ring reconstruction of January-June precipitation from ten ...

The rates of soil lost caused by water erosion have been estimated using the dendrochronology method. This method has been applied to forest masses of Pinus halepensis which are located at the southeast of the Community of Madrid. The erosion rates found for the different slopes that have been...

The first large-scale network of tree-ring chronologies from the western Mediterranean (WM; 32°N-43°N, 10°W-17°E) is described and analyzed to identify the seasonal climatic signal in indices of annual ring width. Correlation and rotated empirical orthogonal function analyses are applied to 85...

Background and Objectives-Coexisting tree and shrub species will have to withstand more arid conditions as temperatures keep rising in the Mediterranean Basin. However, we still lack reliable assessments on how climate and drought affect the radial growth of tree and shrub species at intra- and...

Windstorms are forest disturbances which generate canopy gaps. However, their effects on Mediterranean forests are understudied. To fill that research gap, changes in tree, cover, growth and soil features in Pinus halepensis and Pinus sylvestris plantations affected by windthrows were quantified....

It is predicted that changes in climate will lead to episodes of large forest decline and mortality. Therefore, the distributions of forest plantations and natural stands might already be facing such impacts. We selected the most arid zone of south-eastern Europe (eastern Andalusia) to assess how...

Understanding the regional hydroclimatic variability beyond the instrumental period is essential to contextualize the current climatic period within a longer record. Dendrochronology has been used as a powerful tool for estimating the temperature and precipitation variability of the last centuries...
