Stable isotopes in tree rings could provide palaeoclimate reconstructions with perfect annual
resolution and statistically defined confidence limits. Recent advances make the approach …

A global compilation of glacier advances and retreats for the past two millennia grouped by
17 regions (excluding Antarctica) highlights the nature of glacier fluctuations during the late …

A comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into
the longer-term context of natural climate variability. We present a global compilation of …

Land vegetation is currently taking up large amounts of atmospheric CO2, possibly due to
tree growth stimulation. Extant models predict that this growth stimulation will continue to …

The role of future forests in global biogeochemical cycles will depend on how different tree
species respond to climate. Interpreting the response of forest growth to climate change …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

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 …

Growth in arctic vegetation is generally expected to increase under a warming climate,
particularly among deciduous shrubs. We analyzed annual ring growth for an abundant and …

This introductory textbook introduces the basics of dating, the range of techniques available
and the strengths and limitations of each of the principal methods. Coverage includes: the …

This review focuses on the development of the 'Little Ice Age'as a glaciological and climatic
concept, and evaluates its current usefulness in the light of new data on the glacier and …
