Over the past decade, sclerochronological research has continued to develop rapidly and is
diversifying with respect to methods, taxa, geographic coverage as well as temporal depth …

With its centennial-long tradition (Douglass, 1909, 1919, 1921), our well-established
discipline continuously generates new interest from other research fields. In addition to a …

Salix herbacea, being such an adaptive species, has never been studied for its climatic
response. The main purpose of this study is to examine the dendrochronological potential of …

Iceland, located in the climatologically sensitive subarctic zone, is one of the key areas for
studying climate change and the current Arctic warming. Poor and rich heathland covers …

In this study, we construct multiple bivalve networks, primarily based on Arctica islandica
species, by using six previously published master shell growth chronologies from the …

Four chronologies of the bivalve species Glycymeris pilosa have been constructed along a
300 km gradient of the eastern coastal Adriatic Sea, all of which span the common period of …

Changes in autumnal climate affecting ecosphere diversity and productivity are arguably as
important as those during other seasons, which tend to be more closely studied. Motivated …

Sitka spruce has been one of the most planted tree species in Iceland since the mid-
twentieth century. Here, we use different dendrochronological methods to identify the …

Climate change, which has reached unprecedented levels in recent years, is having clear
effects on global ecosystems, and many species are forced to migrate northward to survive …

This thesis presents two studies that discuss the further refinement and utilization of the
marine climate proxy Arctica islandica. The first study uses a Monte Carlo simulation to …
