Abstract

This report describes an international summer course, "Tree Rings, Climate, Natural Resources, and Human Interaction", held in Cheriomushki, Russia, in the summer of 2018. The course was attended by 12 participants from six countries (Belgium, India, Lebanon, Poland, Russia, and South Africa) and...

Abstract

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...

Abstract

'Blue rings' (BRs) are visual indicators of less lignified cell walls typically formed towards the end of a tree's growing season. Though BRs have been associated with ephemeral surface cooling, often following large volcanic eruptions, the intensity of cold spells necessary to produce BRs, as well ...

Abstract

Multi-year drought and climate change can impact tree growth, especially in California's Mediterranean climate where growing season rainfall is limited or absent. Active forest restoration has the potential to mitigate climate impacts by reducing stand density and conversion towards more resilient...

Abstract

The Black Death (1349-1350 in Norway) is often cited as the cause of a severe population decline and building hiatus in the middle of the 14th century. This paper analyses this hypothesis by matching the Black Death with human and environmental impacts on tree-ring growth. The number of buildings...

Abstract

Boreal forests are experiencing climate change more rapidly than other biomes, which is likely to impact their future management. Understanding how tree growth responds to regional and seasonal variation in climate is essential to anticipate future management of boreal forests. We compiled and...

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

Searching for a robust tree-ring parameter useful for paleoclimatic purposes is one of the most demanding topics in the modern paleoscience. Since Blue Intensity has already expressed itself in different geographical locations all over the world as a possible replacement for maximum density, close...

AbstractFull Text

Estimating long-term trends and short-term amplitudes requires reliable temperature (Temp) observations in the pre-industrial period when few in situ observations existed in the Arctic. Tree-ring materials are most available and used to reconstruct past Arctic Temp variations. However, most...

Abstract

Machine learning (ML) is a widely unexplored field in dendroclimatology, but it is a powerful tool that might improve the accuracy of climate reconstructions. In this paper, different ML algorithms are compared to climate reconstruction from tree-ring proxies. The algorithms considered are multiple ...
