Background Subtropical coniferous forests of the lesser Himalaya provide critical ecosystem
services but fire regimes have received limited scientific attention. We reconstructed fire …

Understanding varying climate responses in tree‐ring data across tree ages is important, but
little is known about tree‐age effects on climate responses in tree‐ring stable isotopes. To …

Midlatitude surface meteorological conditions are embedded within—and affected by—
synoptic‐scale systems, including the movement and persistence of air masses (AMs) …

Jet streams are a key component of the climate system, whose dynamics couple closely to
regional climate variability. Yet, the link between jet stream variability and vegetation activity …

Tree‐ring records of preinstrumental hydroclimate, which contribute needed context for
understanding recent drought and flood events, typically provide one value per year that …

Clanwilliam cedar (Widdringtonia cedarbergensis; WICE), a long-lived conifer with distinct
tree rings in Cape Province, South Africa, has potential to provide a unique high-resolution …

Atmospheric circulations create regions of similar climate at the land surface across the
Northern Hemisphere's mid-latitudes, while climate controls on plant phenology phases …
