Topographic influences on ring widths of trees and shrubs across alpine treelines in southwest Yukon

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018
Growth responses of trees and shrubs to climate often exhibit unexplained variation in alpine regions, making it difficult to predict how they will respond to future changes in climate.

Progress in isotope dendroclimatology

Chemical Geology, 2008
Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of stableisotopes in tree rings for quantitative terrestrial palaeoclimaticreconstruction (Ramesh et al., 1986; Heaton, 1999; Switsur andWaterhouse, 1998; McCarroll and Loader, 2004, 2005), but the earlywidespread application of isotope dendroclimatology has been hin-dered by laborious technical ...

Dendroclimatic Investigations of Pinus Sylvestris L. on Keretsky Archipelago Islands, the White Sea [PDF]

Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2011
The radial growth dynamics of Pinus sylvestris from different habitats of Keretsky archipelago, the White Sea, was analyzed. Two tree-ring chronologies for dry pine forest and the third one for swamp habitat were built.

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

Ecosphere, 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.

A restoration strategy to promote tree establishment in mining‐polluted rocky outcrops using bryophytes

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Introduction Mining activities can lead to the formation of degraded, barren, or metal‐contaminated ecosystems. Resource‐poor ecosystems such as rocky outcrops are more sensitive to mining degradation, and their natural regeneration can be challenging due to soil erosion, lack of resources or seeds, and soil acidification.

Bridging the 39Ar–14C Groundwater Dating Gap: A Dual‐Permeability Transport Perspective Based on Numerical Modeling and Field Data

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Groundwater dating studies rely on environmental tracers to estimate residence times, but most available reliable tracers cover either short (days to decades; e.g., 222Rn, 3H/3He, 85Kr) or extended timescales (millennia to millions of years; e.g., 4He, 36Cl, 81Kr). This leaves a critical gap in age information for intermediate residence times (

Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Potential for tree rings to reveal spatial patterns of past drought variability across western Australia

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
Proxy records have provided major insights into the variability of past climates over long timescales. However, for much of the Southern Hemisphere, the ability to identify spatial patterns of past climatic variability is constrained by the sparse ...

Dendroclimatology in Fennoscandia – from past accomplishments to future potential [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2009
Abstract. Fennoscandia has a strong tradition in dendrochronology, and its large tracts of boreal forest make the region well suited for the development of tree-ring chronologies that extend back several thousands of years. Two of the world's longest continuous (most tree-ring chronologies are annually resolved) tree-ring width chronologies are found ...
