The Historic Avalanche that Destroyed the Village of Àrreu in 1803, Catalan Pyrenees
The purpose of the present study was to reconstruct the avalanche which destroyed the village of Àrreu in 1803 to solve the unknowns about this historic event, and in a broader context, to improve the knowledge about these low-frequency avalanches in the

Variation in Tree Growth Increases With Global Warming
In recent decades, considerable research has focused on the long‐term trend of tree growth rates under global warming, yet little attention has been paid to trends in high‐frequency tree growth variations—that is, year‐to‐year differences in growth rates.

Dendroclimatology as the Part of Dendrochronology
As a the brench of dendrochronology, dendroclimatology assesses the climate in the past and uses tree rings and weather data, mainly precipitation and temperatures, to assess future climate change.

Abstract Bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus are some of the most important disturbance agents in North American forests, having colonized conifers for millions of years. The selection pressure posed by tree‐killing bark beetles pushed trees to develop an arsenal of defensive strategies to which beetles have adapted in their turn.

The Variability and Determinants of Serotiny in Pinus Yunnanensis
This study investigates the intraspecific variation in serotiny level among three varieties of Pinus yunnanensis. Using field data and structural equation modeling, we found that cone resin content is the key physiological driver of serotiny, indirectly shaped by climate and soil factors.

Abstract Environmental and human factors shape the distribution and habitat of Mediterranean woody plants, influencing their population structure and conservation. The Iberian wild pear (Pyrus bourgaeana), a keystone fleshy‐fruited species supporting wildlife during resource‐scarce periods, is one such example.

Our results contribute to understanding of carbon allocation dynamics in Mediterranean pine reforestation under climate change. Following the optimum allocation principle, carbon investment to aboveground organs increased dynamically in less drought‐tolerant species and under cooler and more humid conditions.
