Abstract

Tree rings are widely used for climatic reconstructions and for improving our understanding of ongoing climate change in high-altitude sensitive areas. X-ray maximum latewood density is a very powerful parameter to reconstruct past climatic variations, especially if compared to tree-ring width, but ...

Abstract

It has recently become a matter of discussion whether it is correct to use regional tree-ring chronologies in spatiotemporal climate reconstructions, since natural and climatic conditions in the regions may be heterogeneous, varying on different scales (from micro to global). We have studied the...

AbstractFull Text

Stable isotopes in tree rings have a great potential in realizing paleoclimatic reconstructions, representing the newest method of high accuracy and annual resolution for paleoclimate study, which is widely used in Europe, but has been less studied and applied in Romania. Starting a widespread and...

Abstract

This study aimed to suggest a method to establish vessel-lumen-area chronologies in domestic Quercus spp. from Mt. Songni and to verify their potential as a climate proxy. In order to establish vessel-lumen-area chronologies, three options were applied to filter vessels. Options 1 and 2 use vessels ...

Abstract

Catastrophic floods and large debris flows are natural hazards common in mountain areas. They cause injuries and impact the radial growth of trees growing in the affected basins. Reconstructing how these catastrophic events impact trees by using dendrochronology improves our understanding of...

Abstract

In the tropical Andes climate change is expected to increase temperatures and change precipitation patterns. To overcome the lack of systematic weather records that limits the performance of climate models in this region, the use of the environmental information contained in tree rings from...

Abstract

The growth response of earlywood and latewood to precipitation in chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) was studied by examining a series of core samples from the Garhwal Himalaya, India. Earlywood and latewood were observed to contribute about equal proportions towards the total ring width. Comparison of...

Abstract

Compression wood (CW) is a common tissue present in the trunk, branches and roots of mechanically stressed coniferous trees. Its main role is to increase the mechanical strength and regain the vertical orientation of a leaning stem. Compression wood is thought to influence the climate signal in...

Abstract

Aims: This study aims to determine the radial growth characteristics of natural secondary forests along an elevation gradient and their responses to climate change, and to identify the main factors affecting the radial growth of trees on mountain sites. The outcome of the study would be of great...

Abstract

High-resolution palaeoclimate proxies are fundamental to our understanding of the diverse climatic history of the Australian mainland, particularly given the deficiency in instrumental datasets spanning more than a century. Annually resolved, tree-ring-based proxies play a unique role in addressing ...
