Compared to the alpine regions of Austria, the eastern part of the country is overall warmer and drier with some tree species growing at the dry limit within their ecological range. This suggests that tree rings may be a valuable proxy for hydroclimatic variability. In this study, we develop...

Networks of tree-ring data are commonly applied in statistical reconstruction of spatial fields of climate variables. The importance of elevation to the climatic interpretation of tree-ring networks is addressed using 281 station precipitation records, and a network of 79 tree-ring chronologies...

Droughts are a recurrent phenomenon in the Mediterranean basin with negative consequences for society, economic activities, and natural systems. Nevertheless, the study of drought recurrence and severity in Spain has been limited so far due to the relatively short instrumental period. In this work, ...

We investigated the influence of climate on the ring width and xylem anatomy of two co-occurring pines (Pinus nigra Arn. and P. sylvestris L.) in the mountains of east-central Spain in order to test their utility for dendroclimatic reconstructions. We developed chronologies of ring width, mean...

Tree populations located at the geographical distribution limit of the species may provide valuable information about tree-growth response to changes on climatic conditions. We established nine Pinus nigra, 12 P. sylvestris and 17 P. uncinata tree-ring width chronologies along the eastern and...

The research focused on two pine species; the native one for the investigated area - Pinus sylvestris, and species introduced from S Europe - Pinus nigra. The analysed trees grow in the municipal forests in Szczecin (NW Poland). The chronology established for the black pine spans 108 years...

An account based on tree growth ring chronologies from 337 living pine trees (Pinus sylvestris, P. nigra, P. pinaster and P. mugo subsp. uncinata [P. uncinata]) and 135 historic pine timbers, which were assembled into 31 site chronologies (for living trees), and a chronology for AD 1390 to 1837 for ...
