Naturally regenerating and restored second growth forests account for over 70% of tropical
forest cover and provide key ecosystem services. Understanding climate change impacts on …

Abstract Aim The International Tree‐Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) is the most comprehensive
database of tree growth. To evaluate its usefulness and improve its accessibility to the broad …

Wood anatomical features may be visible on the microscopic as well as on the macroscopic

We review a vast literature of Neotropical forest science and wood anatomical research that
identifies 220 tree species from 46 botanical families with confirmed annual tree-ring …

We analyzed the effects of climate and drought on radial growth using dendrochronology in
seven deciduous tree species coexisting in a Bolivian tropical dry forest subjected to …

Key message Both water availability and temperature modulate the growth of Hymenaea
courbaril on karst in Central Brazil. There is evidence of teleconnections between South …

Tropical dry forests (TDF) are highly important tropical forest ecosystems. Yet, these forests
are highly threatened, usually neglected and only poorly studied. Understanding the long …

Tree-ring studies are still lacking in tropical African forests. This is the case in the seasonally
dry miombo forests located in Southern Africa. In the Angolan miombo, subject to intense …

The São Francisco River basin is one of the most drought-prone regions of Brazil.
Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are widely distributed in the basin and we developed …

Amburana cearensis is an important timber species in tropical lowland dry forests in Bolivia.
