This proceedings comprises 14 papers presenting the usefulness of dendrochronology in providing information on scientific questions about the past and to help prepare for the future. These papers focused on growth ring chronology of different trees, indicators of mid-Holocene climate variability,...

An example of the applicability of dendroclimatological research methods in the study of forest ecosystems is presented, using the dendrochronological series from Vrancea Mountains (LEPA - Pinus sylvestris, LEPB - Abies alba, LEPC - Abies alba), Romania. In the case of the Norway spruce and Silver...

In most dendrochronological studies, climate-growth relationships are established on dominant trees to minimize non-climatic signals. However, response to environmental factors may be affected by tree-size, which begs the question of the representativeness of dominant trees on the stand level. To...

The RENECOFOR [REseau National de suivi à long terme des ECOsystèmes FORestiers] research network of forest sites in France was established in 1991, and forms part of a wider European research programme to monitor and study the effect of air pollution and other factors on the dynamics and...
