The medium-and long-term projections of global climate models show the effects of global
warming will be most pronounced in cold climate areas, especially in the high latitudes of …

Climate conditions affect wood formation during tree growth with consequences for the
functioning and survival of trees and forests. Since tree rings are formed at different temporal …

Global climate change impacts the functioning and productivity of forest ecosystems at
various spatiotemporal scales across a wide range of biomes. Although summer …

Abstract Key Message Earlywood and latewood widths differently respond to the climate in
boreal and Mediterranean Scots pine forests. The response is constrained by allometric …

We assessed the diversity and composition of fungal communities in different functional
tissues and the rhizosphere soil of Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies stands along the …

Climate change affects forest dynamics with potential consequences for essential ecosystem
services. The retrospective analysis of secondary growth unveils the effect of climate on …

Pinus sylvestris, the most widely distributed pine species, is commonly used in
dendrochronological studies. Based on a lack of studies at its southeastern distribution, we …

Wildfires are the main disturbance of boreal ecosystems, one of the largest reservoirs of
terrestrial carbon. Two-thirds of boreal forests are in Siberia, where peatlands commonly …

Age plays an important role in regulating the intra-annual changes in wood cell
development. Investigating the effect of age on intra-annual wood cell development would …

It has recently become a matter of discussion whether it is correct to use regional tree-ring
chronologies in spatiotemporal climate reconstructions, since natural and climatic conditions …
