Tracheidogram’s Classification as a New Potential Proxy in High-Resolution Dendroclimatic Reconstructions [PDF]
, 2022 Quantitative wood anatomy (QWA) is widely used to resolve a fundamental problem of tree responses to past, ongoing and forecasted climate changes. Potentially, QWA data can be considered as a new proxy source for long-term climate reconstruction with ...

Quantifying terminal white bands in Salix from the Yenisei river, Siberia and their relationship to late-season flooding [PDF]
, 2023 Key Message: Wood fiber cell wall thickness best characterizes white bands found at the end of certain growth rings in Salix alba. Evidence suggests these features are related to late-season hydrology.

Using Quantitative Wood Anatomy to Improve Tree-Ring Reconstructions of Climate and Environmental Disturbances [PDF]
, 2023 Quantitative wood anatomy (QWA) provides an avenue for dendrochronologists to investigate wood samples at the cellular level to quantify distinctive features formed in the xylem, which can serve as proxies for past environmental conditions.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.Abstract Paleoclimatology makes it possible to place recent climate changes in a longer‐term context than is available from the instrumental record. Tree‐ring reconstructions, often used to quantify temperature variations over the Common Era, contain multiple uncertainties that affect estimates of the magnitude of recent trends and past variability ...
