Dendroecological Applications to Coarse Woody Debris Dynamics
2017Coarse woody debris plays a crucial role in forest ecosystems. The current amount of woody debris on a given site represents a balance between additions (tree mortality) and depletions (wood decomposition, combustion, transport). Understanding woody debris dynamics has recently gained much attention, primarily because of the need to improve forest ...

Subalpine tree growth on serpentine soil: a dendroecological analysis
Plant Ecology, 1997In this study dendrochronological methods are used to investigate tree growth of several coniferous species growing on serpentine outcrops in the subalpine region. Though stands are thriving on the same parent material, almost barren sites covered with Scots pine trees (Pinus sylvestris/ L.) contrast sharply with adjacent dense stands composed of mixed

The dendroecological potential of shrubs in north Iranian semi-deserts
Dendrochronologia, 2017Abstract In deserts and semi-deserts such as in the Irano-Turanian region in northern Iran, forest vegetation is scarce but shrubs are dominant. For this floristic province, placed in a biodiversity hotspot with a cold and dry climate, we provide the first climate-growth study on shrubs. From stems of three wide-spread shrubs ( Astragalus , Rhamnus

Dendroecology of Hurricanes and the Potential for Isotopic Reconstructions in Southeastern Texas
2010Hurricanes affect much of the lower to mid latitudes around the world. Hurricane season is during autumn when ocean waters have warmed from the summer, providing enough energy to maintain these large storms. Hurricanes cause severe damage when they make landfall with torrential rains and high wind speeds. Past occurrence of hurricanes can be documented

Dendroecological Perspectives on Climate Change on the Southern Tibetan Plateau
2016Tree rings are indicators of historic environmental changes and plant response to past and current climate change. Summer temperature reconstructions from maximum latewood density on the southeastern Tibetan plateau (TP) for the past 600 years revealed cool summer temperatures between ca. 1580 and 1790 A.D., corresponding to the “Little Ice Age (LIA).”

Dendroecological Analysis of Acidic Deposition Effects on Forest Productivity
1987Dendroecological techniques have been employed in several studies to assess the effects of acidic deposition on tree growth. However, some of these studies have not evaluated the roles of other determinants of tree growth (ontogeny, stand development, competition, climate, soil-site Variation) and therefore have not been able to adequately test ...

[Utilization of a biogeochemical model in dendroecology. Application to the Cembro pine].
Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie III, Sciences de la vie, 2000Dendroecology, which is based on annual growth variable measurements, is in possession of data particularly well adapted to analyse the impact of global change on vegetation production. But the classical statistical methods of quantification of tree ring-climate relationship cannot take into account the effect of CO2 increase.
