The role of seasonality is indisputable in climate and ecosystem dynamics. Seasonal
temperature and precipitation variability are of vital importance for the availability of food …

For over 70 years the introduction of natural sciences to archaeology and cultural heritage
has been ever growing with multiple contributions to deciphering the past. Novel techniques …

Tree-ring studies provide important contributions to understanding the climate sensitivity of
tropical trees and the effects of global change on tropical forests. This chapter reviews recent …

The notion that many tropical tree species form annual growth rings has triggered research
on their growth and its environmental drivers over long periods of time. Even more recently …

Tree-ring oxygen isotope (δ 18 O TR) is a powerful proxy for paleoclimatology, ecology and
archaeology, δ 18 O TR studies in Asia over the past∼ 50 years have made significant …

The humid tropics represent only one example of the many places worldwide where
anthropogenic disturbance and climate change are quickly affecting the feedbacks between …

A tree ring oxygen isotope (δ 18 O TR) chronology developed from one species (Cedrela
odorata) growing in a single site has been shown to be a sensitive proxy for rainfall over the …

A 338-year oxygen isotope record from teak tree-ring cellulose collected from Mae Hong
Son province in northwestern Thailand was presented. The tree-ring series preserves the …

This study investigates the dendroclimatic potential of tree species in a tropical dry forest in
southern Ecuador. From 10 selected tree species, Bursera graveolens and Maclura tinctoria …

Changes in intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) were investigated in Fagus sylvatica and
Nothofagus spp. over the last century. We combined dendrochronological methods with dual …
