Tree‐Ring Anatomy Improves the Reliability of Temperature Reconstructions Using Relict Wood
Geophysical Research LettersTree 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 ...

500-year paleoclimate record inferred from Greenland Juniper wood contextualizes current climate warming [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsContextualising Arctic warming and sea ice loss requires high-resolution climate proxy archives, which are rare across the high-northern latitudes. Here, we present annually resolved and absolutely dated tree-ring width measurements of living and dry ...
