Dendrochronology reveals the response of a riparian forest to water management in an arid river basin. [PDF]
Abstract Riparian corridors in arid climates sustain life in otherwise inhospitable environments, creating zones of ecological and cultural importance. However, rivers in arid climates are often managed to provide water for human populations at the expense of a river's freshwater biodiversity.

Provenancing 16th and 17th century CE building timbers in Denmark-combining dendroprovenance and Sr isotopic analysis. [PDF]
Dendrochronology (tree-ring analysis) allows us to precisely date and identify the origin of timber from historic contexts. However, reference datasets to determine the origin can include timber of non-local origin. Therefore, we have applied Sr isotopic

Tree-Ring and Sediment Analyses Reveal Processes of Bald Cypress Ghost Forest Formation From Dredging in the Cape Fear River, North Carolina, USA. [PDF]
In this study, we used a novel approach to combine the use of tree‐ring and pollution chronologies along with microfossil analysis to characterize saltwater intrusion and its influence on the process of ghost forest formation in a bald cypress wetland.

Emerging trend of increasing spring frost damage for beech at higher elevations in the Jura Mountains: evidence from tree-ring data. [PDF]
Summary Late spring frost (LSF) severely impacts tree growth and forest productivity, with global warming potentially altering LSF risk due to asymmetric changes in vegetation onset and frost timing. However, reconstructing past frost regimes with climatic and phenological data remains challenging. Using phenological models, high‐resolution climate and
