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 ...

Innovative application of xylem anatomy to investigate the complex relationships between carbon sequestration and biomass growth in a Norway spruce forest in the Italian Alps [PDF]
openGli ecosistemi forestali sono uno dei principali serbatoi di carbonio a livello globale, in quanto sequestrano circa il 30% della CO2 antropogenica totale.

Current Siberian heating is unprecedented during the past seven millennia [PDF]
The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. Putting this rapid warming into perspective is challenging because instrumental records are often short or incomplete in polar regions and precisely-dated temperature proxies with high temporal

Tree Core Analysis with X-ray Computed Tomography. [PDF]
peer reviewedAn X-ray computed tomography (CT) toolchain is presented to obtain tree-ring width (TRW), maximum latewood density (MXD), other density parameters, and quantitative wood anatomy (QWA) data without the need for labor-intensive surface ...

Beyond maximum density: multi-parameter insights into Scots pine climate sensitivity [PDF]
As one of Eurasia's most widely distributed conifer species, Pinus sylvestris L. is frequently used in dendroclimatological reconstructions based on tree-ring width (TRW) and maximum latewood density (MXD).
