Dendroecological Potential of Juniperus deppeana in Northern Mexico

2020
The species Juniperus deppeana is widely distributed throughout the Sierra Madre Occidental, northern Mexico, and no studies have been conducted to determine its dendroclimatic potential. This study in intended to answer the following questions. Is it possible to date annual growth of J. deppeana and develop tree-ring series? What is the most important

A Dendroecological Fire History for Central Corsica/France

Tree-Ring Research, 2020
Forest fires are an important factor shaping Mediterranean ecosystems and determine the distribution of different species. Information about past forest fires can be obtained with pyrodendroecology. Here, we present a fire history for three sites in the mountain forest belt on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Basin.

Dendroecology: Lessons Learned and Future Frontiers

2017
Over the past four decades dendroecology has been instrumental in shaping contemporary understanding of how forests around the world change over time. Dendroecological research has provided important new insights into the functioning of temperate, boreal, and tropical forests at sub-annual, annual, decadal, and centennial time scales.

MAIDEN: a model for analyzing ecosystem processes in dendroecology [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2004
Ecophysiological and dendroecological data from a temperate sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) stand in Belgium were used to develop and parameterize a dendroecological process-based model. The purpose of this model is to serve as a tool for exploring the relationship between climate variability and tree growth based on dendro ecological ...

Dendroecological analyses for olive cultivar characterization

2023
Due to global warming, a significant increase in frequency and severity of drought episodes is predicted in the Mediterranean Region. Olive (Olea europaea L.) is a relatively drought-tolerant tree species cultivated in Mediterranean region. However, prolonged hot and dry summer can induce hydraulic stress, leading to fruit yield reduction.

Deciphering Dendroecological Fingerprints of Geomorphic Process Activity

2017
The initial employment of tree rings in geomorphic studies was simply as a dating tool and rarely exploited other environmental information and records of damage induced by earth surface processes within the tree. However, these unique, annually resolved, tree-ring records preserve valuable archives of past process activity on timescales of decades to ...

The DendroEcological Network Version 1.0 - Technical Report

2019
The DendroEcological Network (DEN; https://www.uvm.edu/femc/dendro) is an open-source repository of high quality dendrochronological and associated ecological data. The DEN was launched in 2018 with the goal of providing a database and online infrastructure to archive these data, and make those data easy to find, explore, and aggregate across disparate

Dendroecological Applications to Coarse Woody Debris Dynamics

2017
Coarse 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, 1997
In 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

Dendroecological Analysis of Acidic Deposition Effects on Forest Productivity

1987
Dendroecological 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 ...
