Prospects for dendroanatomy in paleoclimatology – a case study on Picea engelmannii from the Canadian Rockies [PDF]
Abstract. The continuous development of new proxies as well as a refinement of existing tools are key to advances in paleoclimate research and improvements in the accuracy of existing climate reconstructions. Herein, we build on recent methodological progress in dendroanatomy, the analyses of wood anatomical parameters in dated tree rings, and ...

Towards ROXAS AI: automatic multi-species ring boundaries segmentation as regression in anatomical images. [PDF]
Introduction: Quantitative wood anatomy (QWA) along a time series of tree rings (known as tree-ring anatomy or dendroanatomy) has proven to be very valuable for reconstructing climate and for investigating the responses of trees and shrubs to ...

Dendroclimatic potential of dendroanatomy in temperature-sensitive Pinus sylvestris
Abstract 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.

Abstract Medicinal plants, a source of different phytochemical compounds, are now subjected to a variety of environmental stresses during their growth and development. Different ecologically limiting factors including temperature, carbon dioxide, lighting, ozone, soil water, soil salinity and soil fertility has significant impact on medicinal plants ...

Revealing Polylepis microphylla as a suitable tree species for dendrochronology and quantitative wood anatomy in the Andean montane forests [PDF]
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 ...

Interrogating glacier mass balance response to climatic change since the Little Ice Age: reconstructions for the Jotunheimen region, southern Norway [PDF]
Developing a long‐term understanding of the cryosphere is important in the study of past climatic change. Here we used a nested approach combining diverse instrumental (monthly meteorological data from four weather stations, as well as gridded data) and ...
