The Mexican Drought Atlas: Tree-ring reconstructions of the soil moisture balance during the late pre-Hispanic, colonial, and modern eras
Mexico has suffered a long history and prehistory of severe sustained drought. Drought over
Mexico is modulated by ocean-atmospheric variability in the Atlantic and Pacific, raising the …

Recent European drought extremes beyond Common Era background variability
Europe's recent summer droughts have had devastating ecological and economic
consequences, but the severity and cause of these extremes remain unclear. Here we …

A theory-driven approach to tree-ring standardization: defining the biological trend from expected basal area increment
One of the main elements of dendrochronological standardization is removing the biological
trend, ie the progressive decline of ring width along a cross-sectional radius that is caused …

A “signal-free” approach to dendroclimatic standardisation
TM Melvin, KR Briffa - Dendrochronologia, 2008 - Elsevier
We describe a potential problem with the use of standardisation techniques that fit growth
curves directly to measurement data. The existence of medium-frequency variance …
