Ring‐Width Dendrochronology, Isotopic Dendrochronology and Radiocarbon Dating of Timbers From the Spire Scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England [PDF]
ABSTRACT Ten timbers from the spire scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral were dated using a combination of ring‐width dendrochronology, stable oxygen isotopic dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Seven timbers were coeval and assigned a combined empirical felling date range of 1352–1378, which was further refined to 1351–1359 (OxCal 95.4%).

Facilitative Effects of <i>Alnus viridis</i> ssp. <i>fruticosa</i> on <i>Betula nana</i> ssp. <i>exilis</i> Growth in Arctic Alaska. [PDF]
We investigated how Siberian alder influences the growth of dwarf birch in the low Alaskan Arctic. Using growth rings, we found that Siberian alder promotes dwarf birch growth overall despite delaying and shortening the growing season through enhancing snow depths.

Structural Attributes Outweigh Topographical Effects in Determining Vascular Plant Diversity Within Southern Apennine Old-Growth Forests. [PDF]
Forest structure accounted for a larger unique fraction of vascular plant compositional variation in Southern Apennine old‐growth forests (23.5%) than topography alone (12.8%), with a substantial shared contribution between the two predictor sets.

Satellite Remote Sensing of Alpine Vegetation Dynamics: Challenges and Perspectives. [PDF]
Satellite greening has become a key tool for monitoring alpine vegetation change, but a positive vegetation‐index trend is not an ecological observation in itself. This perspective shows that interpreting alpine greening requires addressing two sequential challenges: methodological complexity, which can bias trends during image processing, and ...

Wiggle-matching using known-age pine from Jermyn Street, London [PDF]
A slice of pine from the period covered by single-year calibration data (Stuiver 1993) was selected to serve as part of the quality assurance procedures of the English Heritage radiocarbon dating program, following successful wiggle-matching of 14C ...

Crossdating Juniperus procera from North Gondar, Ethiopia [PDF]
The application of dendrochronology in (sub)tropical regions has been limited by the difficulty in finding trees with distinct annual rings that can be crossdated.
