Soil Chemical Response to Experimental Acidification Treatments [PDF]
, 2006 One of the conclusions reached during the Congressionally mandated National Acid Precipitation Program (NAPAP) was that, compared to ozone and other stress factors, the direct effects of acidic deposition on forest health and productivity were likely to ...

Wood growth in pure and mixed Quercus ilex L. forests: drought influence depends on site conditions. [PDF]
, 2019 Climate response of tree-species growth may be influenced by intra- and inter-specific interactions. The different physiological strategies of stress response and resource use among species may lead to different levels of competition and/or ...

Volcanic activity signals in tree-rings at the treeline of the Popocatépetl, Mexico [PDF]
, 2020 The Popocatépetl volcano resumed its eruptive activity in 1994 and is still active. The largest eruption recorded during this new stage of activity occurred in December 2000. We traced the volcanic activity signal in tree-rings from Pinus hartwegii trees

Tropical dendrochemistry: A novel approach to estimate age and growth from ringless trees
Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 Although tropical forests play an active role in the global carbon cycle and climate, their growth history remains poorly characterized compared to other ecosystems on the planet. Trees are prime candidates for the extraction of paleoclimate archives as they can be probed sub‐annually, are widely distributed and can live for over 1400 years [Chambers ...

Reconstruction of soil pH by dendrochemistry of Masson pine at two forested sites in the Pearl River Delta, South China [PDF]
Annals of Forest Science, 2008 • Soil acidification is a global concern. Base cation (Ca, Mg, Mn and Al) concentrations, as well as their molar ratios, were measured in tree rings of Masson pines (Pinus massoniana L.) from Dinghushan and Xiqiaoshan to reconstruct the historical changes in soil acidification in the Pearl River Delta, south China.

Extractability of elements in sugar maple xylem along a gradient of soil acidity [PDF]
, 2008 Dendrochemistry has been used for the historical dating of pollution. Its reliability is questionable due primarily to the radial mobility of elements in sapwood.
