Abstract

Though the extraction of increment cores is common practice in tree-ring research, there is no standard for the number of samples per tree, or trees per site needed to accurately describe the common growth pattern of a discrete population of trees over space and time. Tree-ring chronologies...

Abstract

Nowadays, the biological monitoring through the growth rings has received increasing attention from ecologists and toxicologists. Structural analysis of these rings allows the incorporation of a time component in the study of plant responses to environmental variation. This allows also to evaluate...

Abstract

Xerophytic thickets occur along the southwestern part of Madagascar. Although providing a wide variety of resources and services to the local population, this particular vegetation is subjected to deforestation. This study focuses on linking dendroclimatology and dendroecology by examining the...

Abstract

Aims: Process-based models are basic tools for predicting the response of forest carbon to future climate change. The models have commonly been tested for their predictions of spatial variation in forest productivity, but much less for their ability to predict temporal variation. Here, we explored...

Abstract

The Milo River in Guinea is one of the tributaries of Upper Niger. Its basin has a semi-arid climate with alternating dry and wet seasons in a biogeographic context of savannah. The West African monsoon brings rain between June and September with a long dry period affecting river levels and...

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the climatic responses of three tree rings proxies: tree ring width (TRW), maximum latewood density (MXD), and blue intensity (BI). For this study, 20 cores of Pinus sylvestris covering the period 1886-2015 were extracted from living non-damaged trees from the...

Abstract

This is the first study to generate and analyze the climate signal in blue intensity (BI) tree-ring chronologies from Alaska yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis (D. Don) Oerst. ex D.P. Little). The latewood BI chronology shows a much stronger temperature sensitivity than ring width and can thus ...

Abstract

Trees can record the long-term effects of climate variables. With the help of dendroclimatology knowledge, these variables can be reconstructed, especially for areas with short-term climatic data. For this purpose, in this study, six forestry plans were selected by using the thickness of Iranian...

Abstract

Pinus taeda plantations are an important economic activity in southern Brazil, where edaphoclimatic conditions are optimal. Understanding how meteorological conditions influence tree growth is important in such a favorable environment for reaching high growth rates and for predicting tree growth...

Abstract

Wood anatomical features such as vessels record paleo climatic and environmental signals through their physiological adjustment during the environmental stress condition. Using vessel features as environmental proxy is relatively new in tropical dendrochronology but very useful to study plant...
