Reconstructing Soil Recovery from Acid Rain in Beech (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i>) Stands of the Vienna Woods as Indicated by Removal of Stemflow and Dendrochemistry. [PDF]

open access: hybridWater Air Soil Pollut, 2019
Our goal was to reconstruct soil recovery from Acid Rain based upon removal of stemflow at beech (Fagus sylvatica) stands of known historic and recent soil status. Fourteen beech stands in the Vienna Woods were selected in 1984 and again in 2012 to study changes in soil and foliar chemistry over time.

Chronological Trends and Mercury Bioaccumulation in an Aquatic Semiarid Ecosystem under a Global Climate Change Scenario in the Northeastern Coast of Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Due to global warming, in the northeastern semiarid coastal regions of Brazil, regional and global drivers are responsible for decreasing continental runoff and increasing estuarine water residence time, which promotes a greater mobilization of ...

Radial patterns of 13 elements in the tree rings of beech trees from Mavrovo National park, FYROM [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2010
The radial patterns of 13 elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd and Co) were analyzed in the tree rings of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). The study site was located in an 'unpolluted' beech ecosystem in Mavrovo National Park.

Trees as sentinels of metallic pollution induced by mining along the Odiel River (Southern Iberian Peninsula)

open access: yesCuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2021
Mining activity is often responsible for the drainage of acid or metal-enriched waters to fluvial systems. The release of metals is especially disturbing due to the toxicity and persistence of these products and their accumulation in the biosphere. Hence,

Isotopic comparison and correlation of δ13C between bulk wood and cellulose of Vitis vinifera L.

open access: yesOENO One, 2023
This study aims to compare the δ13C isotopic signal between bulk wood and α-cellulose in wood samples from the main trunk of Vitis vinifera L. to verify whether α-cellulose extraction is necessary for ecophysiological studies in this species.

Early-Wood vs. Late-Wood in Scots Pine: Finding Stable Relationships in Elemental Distribution

open access: yesSci, 2023
This study explored whether consistent differences can be found between early-wood and late-wood in terms of elemental content of tree rings. The species to study was Pinus sylvestris L. growing within an even-aged stand planted during the early 1970s in

To extract or not to extract? Influence of chemical extraction treatment of wood samples on element concentrations in tree-rings measured by X-ray fluorescence

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
In micro-densitometry of wood it is standard procedure to extract resin and other soluble compounds before X-ray analysis to eliminate the influence of these extractives on wood-density.

Elemental Variability in Stems of Pinus sylvestris L.: Whether a Single Core Can Represent All the Stem

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
In dendrochemical studies, an analysis of wooden cores extracted from tree stems is a widely spread research method. A methodological problem is related to the method: whether a single core per tree can be representative of all the stems. The study aimed

Dendroclimatology in Latin America: A Review of the State of the Art

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
The application of dendrochronology for understanding climatic variations has been of great interest to climatologists, ecologists, geographers, archeologists, among other sciences, particularly in recent decades when more dendrochronological studies ...
