Contrasting Climate Sensitivity of Pinus cembra Tree-Ring Traits in the Carpathians [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 High-elevation ecosystems are one of the most sensitive to climate change. The analysis of growth and xylem structure of trees from marginal populations, especially the ones growing at the treeline, could provide early-warning signs to better understand ...

Dendroclimatic potential of dendroanatomy in temperature-sensitive Pinus sylvestris
, 2020 The most frequently and successfully used tree-ring parameters for the study of temperature variations are ring width and maximum latewood density (MXD). MXD is preferred over ring width due to a more prominent association with temperature. In this study
