There is large uncertainty about the magnitude of warming and how rainfall patterns will
change in response to any given scenario of future changes in atmospheric composition and …

An anomalous reduction in forest growth indices and temperature sensitivity has been
detected in tree-ring width and density records from many circumpolar northern latitude sites …

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 …

The demand for large-scale and long-term information on tree growth is increasing rapidly
as environmental change research strives to quantify and forecast the impacts of continued …

A proxy system model may be defined as the complete set of forward and mechanistic
processes by which the response of a sensor to environmental forcing is recorded and …

Growth models can be used to assess forest vulnerability to climate warming. If global
warming amplifies water deficit in drought‐prone areas, tree populations located at the driest …

Paleoclimate observations constitute the only constraint on climate behavior prior to the
instrumental era. However, such observations only provide indirect (proxy) constraints on …

Physiological and ecological mechanisms that define treelines are still debated. It has been
suggested that the absence of trees above the treeline is caused by low temperatures that …

Aim We investigate the effects of the environmental and geographical processes driving
growth resilience and recovery in response to drought in Mediterranean Pinus pinaster …

We present a simple, efficient, process-based forward model of tree-ring growth, called
Vaganov–Shashkin-Lite (VS-Lite), that requires as inputs only latitude and monthly …
