Abstract Changes to forest production drivers (light, water, temperature, and site nutrient)
over the last 55 years have been documented in peer‐reviewed literature. The main …

Tree‐rings offer one of the few possibilities to empirically quantify and reconstruct forest
growth dynamics over years to millennia. Contemporaneously with the growing scientific …

Some background describing the rationale and early development of regional curve
standardization (RCS) is provided. It is shown how, in the application of RCS, low-frequency …

Natural environmental changes and human activities have altered forest growth for
centuries. Recent long-term growth investigations indicate an increasing growth trend in …

Changes in forest growth have been found in European forests and worldwide. However
most observations have been derived from samples of restricted size, whose …

Tree ring analysis allows reconstructing historical growth rates over long periods. Several
studies have reported an increasing trend in ring widths, often attributed to growth …

The inclusion of forests as potential biological sinks in the Kyoto Protocol to the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997 has attracted …

It has been known for a long time that drought intensity is a critical variable in determining
water stress of Mediterranean tree species. However, not as much attention has been paid …

Increasing atmospheric nitrogen deposition and climate change are considered the main
factors accelerating the long-term growth of forests. Quantification of changes in growth rate …

Norway spruce is one of the most common and economically most important tree species in
Northern and Central Europe. Its area has expanded far beyond the limits of its natural …
