ROXAS–A new tool to build centuries-long tracheid-lumen chronologies in conifers
Measurements of tree-ring features (ring width, density, isotopes concentration, etc.) are well-
established proxies of environmental variability and, in particular, climate fluctuation at local …

Minor European broadleaved tree species are more drought-tolerant than Fagus sylvatica but not more tolerant than Quercus petraea
J Kunz, G Löffler, J Bauhus - Forest Ecology and Management, 2018 - Elsevier
More frequent and intensive droughts are projected to affect the vitality of major European
tree species. Therefore, it is important to search for alternative, more drought-tolerant …

Vessel formation in relation to leaf phenology in pedunculate oak and European ash
U Sass-Klaassen, CR Sabajo, J den Ouden - Dendrochronologia, 2011 - Elsevier
The earlywood–vessel area of ring-porous species is related to environmental factors that
prevailed during the time of vessel formation. However, limited knowledge is available on …

Xylem hydraulic adjustment and growth response of Quercus canariensis Willd. to climatic variability
Global change challenges forest adaptability at the distributional limit of species. We studied
ring-porous Quercus canariensis Willd. xylem traits to analyze how they adjust to spatio …

The Climatic Response of Tree Ring Width Components of Ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) and Common Oak (Quercus robur L.) from Eastern Europe
This paper aims to develop the first differentiated (earlywood—EW, latewood—LW, and total
ring width—RW) dendrochronological series for ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) and oak …

Vessel features of Quercus ilex L. growing under Mediterranean climate have a better climatic signal than tree-ring width
We investigated whether vessel time series of Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.), a diffuse to semi-
ring-porous species, can record a climatic signal which differs from the signal encoded in …
