Tree‐Ring Anatomy Improves the Reliability of Temperature Reconstructions Using Relict Wood
Tree rings are crucial for reconstructing past climates, with maximum latewood density (MXD) as a key metric. However, wood integrity is critical for accurate MXD‐based reconstructions, raising concerns when using potentially degraded relict wood ...

Revealing Polylepis microphylla as a suitable tree species for dendrochronology and quantitative wood anatomy in the Andean montane forests [PDF]
In the tropical Andes climate change is expected to increase temperatures and change precipitation patterns. To overcome the lack of systematic weather records that limits the performance of climate models in this region, the use of the environmental ...

Impact of pollution on the temperature sensitivity of multiple Norway spruce tree-ring parameters in Central Europe [PDF]
Central European forests experienced high rates of air pollution in the second half of the 20th century, especially along the borders of Czechia, Germany and Poland. Consequently, tree-growth declines were detected in heavily polluted forests.
