Variability in xylem anatomy is of interest to plant scientists because of the role water transport plays in plant performance and survival. Insights into plant adjustments to …
Each tree ring contains an image of the time when the ring formed, projected onto the ring's size, structure, and composition. Tree rings thus are natural archives of past environments …

Snow cover is one of the most important factors controlling microclimate and plant growing conditions for Arctic and alpine ecosystems. Climate change is altering snowfall regimes …
This study compared the densest available database of tree-ring growth with the longest Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) information available at the global scale to …
Measurements of tree-ring features (ring width, density, isotopes concentration, etc.) are well- established proxies of environmental variability and, in particular, climate fluctuation at local …

Drought has been frequently discussed as a trigger for forest decline. Today, large-scale Scots pine decline is observed in many dry inner-Alpine valleys, with drought discussed as …
We investigated the influence of climate on the ring width and xylem anatomy of two co- occurring pines (Pinus nigra Arn. and P. sylvestris L.) in the mountains of east-central Spain …
Boreal forests are facing profound changes in their growth environment, including warming‐ induced water deficits, extended growing seasons, accelerated snowmelt, and permafrost …
Background and Aims During the growing season, the cambium of conifer trees produces successive rows of xylem cells, the tracheids, that sequentially pass through the phases of …
