The study aims for the exploration of dendroclimatological history from Himalayan fir (Abies pindrow Royle ex D. Don) growing in the mid elevation zone of Pakistan. Temperature and precipitation are the main limiting factors for tree growth in the region, of which precipitation dominates as the...

We present the first network of tree-ring chronologies for co-occurring Nothofagus nervosa and Nothofagus obliqua in Argentina. Using standard dendrochronological techniques, we developed seven tree-ring width chronologies for each species, encompassing their E-W distribution along a precipitation...

The scientific discipline called dendrochronology is the study of tree rings and of environmental conditions and events of the past that tree growth can reflect. The beginning of scientific study of tree rings is generally ascribed to an astronomer named Andrew Ellicott Douglass, who in the early...

Climate change is expected to lead to higher temperatures in the Mediterranean region of northern California in the Sierra Nevada. Dendroclimatic studies typically focus on large, old trees, but there relatively limited understanding on how climatic sensitivity can vary with trees of different size ...

Tree-ring analyses provide a rich archive of information on environmental attributes affecting tree growth. Tree-ring studies conducted so far have mostly focused on temperate species, and research on tropical trees is limited. This study aims to develop a tree-ring chronology of Shorea robusta and ...

Climate models for North Patagonia in Argentina project dryer conditions, due to a decrease in mean precipitation combined with an increase in mean temperatures. The temperate mixed Nothofagus forest, which exists along a steep precipitation gradient, could be directly impacted. For this study, we...

Tropical and subtropical forests cover only 7% of the Earth's land surface. Yet, they host nearly half of global tree density with a high species number (~40,000 species), store up to 25% of global terrestrial carbon and represent one-third of net primary productivity on Earth. Over the last four...

The divergence problem, which manifests as an unstable response relationship between tree-ring growth and climatic factors under the background of global warming, poses a challenge to both the traditional theory of dendroclimatology and the reliability of climatic reconstructions based on tree-ring ...

Nectandra is one of the most representative genera of Lauraceae in the subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The objective of this work was to study the dendrochronological potential of Nectandra oppositifolia Nees and Mart. from two sites in Santa Catarina State in southern Brazil. A tree-ring...

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...
