Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the exceptional dry years of Pinus pinea L. (stone pine) by using dendroclimatology, and Selection drought-resistant trees depending on the differentiation in the width of the annual growth rings of exceptional dry years and adopting them as seed mothers....

Abstract

In this paper, a procedure for transforming hyperspectral imaging information into intra-growth ring wood densities is presented. Particular focus was given to comparing the neural network and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) processing methods. The hyperspectral measurements were performed...

AbstractFull Text

Climate projections predict shifts in environmental conditions, with cascade effects on forest growth dynamics. As such, Pinus pinea L., an ecologically important low-elevation Mediterranean tree, can be threatened by drought events. The occurrence of negative stem growth anomalies ("negative...

Abstract

In this paper, Hierarchical Factor Classification (HFC), an exploratory method of classification of characters is introduced, in comparison with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in order to show its advantages, in particular when dealing with time series. Exploratory data analysis may play a very ...

Abstract

Pinewoods are distinctive environmental elements in the Mediterranean coastal area and have both natural and historical significance. From the evening of March 4th to the morning of March 5th, 2015, a severe and unusual windstorm occurred in the Tuscany region of central Italy with wind gusts over...

Abstract

Diplodia shoot blight is an emergent forest disease in Europe caused by Diplodia sapinea. The short-term impacts of the pathogen on tree physiology are well known, but its capacity to cause mortality has been poorly documented. We compared the survival of four pine species affected by Diplodia...

Abstract

Tree rings are among the best sources of proxy data for reconstructing past climatic records. In this study we explore for the first time what type of climatic signals can be reconstructed from stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) based on tree-rings from central Italy (Roman coast). Samples from 112 stone...

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...

AbstractFull Text

Six compartments of burnt areas from different years were studied in larch, pine-larch and larch-pine dwarf shrubmoss- lichen sparse forests and light forests of the Nadym district of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The new dendrochronological method of dating of forest fires based on indicators ...

Abstract

The application of Monteith's models to estimate the gross primary production (GPP) of forest ecosystems is a common and efficient practice. A modified version of one of these parametric models, C-Fix, has been widely tested in Italy at daily to annual temporal scales. The current paper is a step...
