Climate and Hydrology Shape the Growth and Water Use Efficiency in South Florida's (USA) Pine and Cypress Forests. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn South Florida, tree growth and water‐use efficiency are significantly influenced by hydrological conditions, with water depth playing a more critical role than overall climate variables. Using dendrochronology and stable carbon isotopes, the study found that Taxodium species grow best during wetter summers, while Pinus elliottii grows most in wetter

Pyrodiversity of boreal lake islands begets biodiversity of beetles, plants, and birds. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Global fire regimes are changing, raising concerns about the ability of fire‐prone ecosystems to maintain biodiversity. We tested whether the pyrodiversity–biodiversity hypothesis (i.e., variation in postfire characteristics promotes biodiversity) or alternative hypotheses better explain patterns of biodiversity in a true island system.

Provenancing 16th and 17th century CE building timbers in Denmark-combining dendroprovenance and Sr isotopic analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 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

A Guarneri violin in the attic: the power of dendrochronology for analysing musical instruments
Heritage Science, 2021 Dendrochronology is the science that dates wooden artefacts by measuring annual growth rings visible in the wood. And, in the case of musical instruments, the method is non-invasive.
