Abstract

Douglas fir(Pseudotsuga sinensis), as a kind of the national class II endangered tree species, has been attracting comparatively less attention on its dendroclimatology so far instead. A standard tree-ring width chronology was established based on the tree-ring sample cores collected from Zhenping...

Abstract

A major problem in modern dendrochronology is that the methods traditionally used for linking tree-ring growth data to climate records are not well suited to reconstructing low-frequency climatic variations. In this study, we explored the alternative ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to...

Abstract

Dendrochronology is a very useful science to reconstruct the long-term responses of trees and other woody plants forming annual rings in response to their environment. The present review considered Mexico, a megadiverse country with a high potential for tree-ring sciences given its high climatic...

Abstract

Dendroclimatic reconstructions, which are a well-known tool for extending records of climatic variability, have recently been expanded by using wood anatomical parameters. However, the relationships between wood cellular structures and large-scale climatic patterns, such as El Niño-Southern...

Abstract

Due to a suite of environmental changes, Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana Douglas ex Hook; called Gary oak in Canada) associated ecosystems at many North American sites are being encroached upon by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) and other conifer species....

Abstract

Accurately aging trees is critical for understanding tree demography and tree responses to environmental change. Given the proliferation of studies aimed at understanding the effects of climate and disturbance on forest ecosystems, it is important to understand the tradeoffs between field-based age ...

Abstract

Tree biomass is one of the most important variables for studying and managing forest ecosystems. With emphasis shifting from young forests grown for timber production to forests with old-growth characteristics, the need to quantify various components of individual trees in natural settings is...

Abstract

The western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman=C. freemani (Razowski), Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (WSB) is a recurrent defoliator of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and other conifers in western North America. Repeated defoliation causes timber depletions, which...

Abstract

Research Highlights: In Central Europe, Douglas fir became more responsive to summer drought in recent years. Background and Objectives: Until now, Douglas fir has been considered a tree species resistant to drought. However, how Douglas fir will be able to cope with the increasing frequency and...

Abstract

Fire is a common disturbance in many forests. We conducted a fire history study on 40 Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) trees from two sites, Kellett Bluff and Turn Point, in the San Juan Islands of Washington state, USA. In total, 146 fire scars were identified and dated,...
