Atmospheric River Event Frequency Is the Principal Moisture Driver for Radial Growth of High‐Elevation Southern California, USA Conifers, 1658–2020 CE

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.
Conifers growing in high‐elevation alpine environments in the mountains of Southern California, USA, are highly responsive to atmospheric river (AR) events, which typically produce heavy precipitation over 1–3 days. However, it is the frequency of the AR events, not their magnitude nor annual precipitation totals, that most affects the radial growth of

Streamflow Reconstructions Using Tree-Ring Based Paleo Proxies for the Upper Adige River Basin (Italy)

open access: yesHydrology, 2021
The Adige River Basin (ARB) provides a vital water supply source for varying demands including agriculture (wine production), energy (hydropower) and municipal water supply.

Exorcizing Divergence in Tree‐Ring Density Along the Rocky Mountains

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Briffa et al. (1998), https://doi.org/10.1038/35596 published a seminal paper on the reduced sensitivity of annual tree growth to temperature across Northern Hemisphere treeline stands. By averaging tree‐ring chronologies to sub‐continental means, they found decade‐long trends in maximum latewood density (MXD) progressively diverging from ...

A 1100‐Year Blue‐Ring Record Reveals Sub‐Annual Cooling Events Hidden in Tree‐Ring Width Chronologies

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Tree‐ring width (RW) records primarily capture low‐frequency temperature variability, yet resolving high‐frequency signals is critical for testing climate models and contextualizing modern extremes. Blue rings (BRs)—bands of unlignified cells revealed by micro‐anatomical staining—capture short‐lived cooling events.

Tree-Ring Chronology of Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur) and its Potential for Development of Dendrochronological Research in Croatia

open access: yesDrvna Industrija, 2014
We present the local tree-ring chronology of pedunculate oak (Qercus robur) from Kobiljak near Zagreb, Croatia (16º09’ E, 45º49’ N, 140 m a.s.l.). The chronology is based on 17 trees and is 127 years long and covers the period of 1883-2009.

New methods provide a 300‐year perspective on modern area burned in two wilderness areas of the southwest United States

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change, expanding human ignitions, and increased fuels from fire exclusion are driving increases in area burned and fire severity in dry conifer forests of the western United States. Increasing area burned is occurring against the backdrop of a large fire deficit caused by over a century of fire exclusion.

Sub‐Seasonal Tree‐Ring Reconstructions for More Comprehensive Climate Records in U.S. West Coast Watersheds

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Tree‐ring records of preinstrumental hydroclimate, which contribute needed context for understanding recent drought and flood events, typically provide one value per year that represents the entire year or one particular season.

Reduced Temperature Sensitivity of Maximum Latewood Density Formation in High-Elevation Corsican Pines under Recent Warming

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
Maximum latewood density (MXD) measurements from long-lived Black pines (Pinus nigra spp. laricio) growing at the upper treeline in Corsica are one of the few archives to reconstruct southern European summer temperatures at annual resolution back into ...

Dendroclimatological reconstructions in South America: A review

open access: yesPalaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2009
Abstract Recent years have seen a consolidation and expansion of tree-ring sample collection across South America. Most collections are concentrated in the temperate forests along the eastern and western slopes of the Southern Andes (32°S to 55°S).
