Dendroecological Dating of Geomorphic Disturbance in Trees [PDF]

Tree-Ring Research, 2014
The initial employment of tree rings in geomorphic studies was simply as a dating tool and only rarely were other environmental information and records of damage contained within the tree exploited. However, these annually resolved tree-ring records also preserve valuable archives of past geomorphic processes on timescales of decades to centuries.

Dendroecological Potential of Appalachian Riverscour Woodland Trees

Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of Science, 2023
Appalachian riverscour woodlands are intermittently flooded areas along high-energy rivers characterized by exposed bedrock and poorly developed sandy soils, high plant diversity, and scattered and stunted trees.  These sites can be negatively impacted by dam construction and alterations to river hydrology, trampling associated with riverside ...

Process models and model-data fusion in dendroecology [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Dendrochronology (i.e. the study of annually dated tree-ring time series) has proved to be a powerful technique to understand tree-growth. This paper intends to show the interest of using ecophysiological modeling not only to understand and predict tree-growth (dendroecology) but also to reconstruct past climates (dendroclimatology).

A dendroecological study in a declining oak coppice stand [PDF]

Annales des Sciences Forestières, 1996
L'etude a concerne un taillis mixte (Quercus cerris L predominant), âge de 30 ans, situe pres de Tolfa, Rome, Italie. La zone est marquee par un surpâturage de bovins et l'absence de toute intervention sylvicole. Pour evaluer l'importance des differents facteurs relies au deperissement, la situation phytopathologique du peuplement a ete comparee avec ...

Climate change and fire alter biotic interactions and tree growth in high‐elevation forests

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Climate change and shifting fire regimes have the potential to alter forest structure and tree growth dynamics in high‐elevation forests; however, the relative role of competitive and facilitative interactions in shaping postfire responses remains unclear.

Intra‐Annual Isotope Variations in Tree Rings Reveal Climate Change Impacts on Tree Growth and Water Use in the Turtmann River Basin, Switzerland

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT It is well established that changes in climatic conditions across Alpine environments have influenced tree‐growth at altitudes close to the tree line. Less well known is the impact that increasing proportions of glacial melt water, which may accompany increasing temperatures and otherwise drier conditions during warmer summers, have on the ...

Diverse historical fire disturbance and successional dynamics in Douglas‐fir forests of the western Oregon Cascades, USA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We created the first annually resolved records of historical fire occurrence coupled with precise estimates of tree establishment for the northern half of the west slope of the Oregon Cascades, a region that is home to some of the most productive forests on earth.

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.

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.
