We review evidence for climate change over the past several millennia from instrumental
and high‐resolution climate “proxy” data sources and climate modeling studies. We focus on …

This paper is concerned with dendroclimatic research aimed at representing the history of
very large-scale temperature changes. It describes recent analyses of the data from a …

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 …

Each tree ring contains an image of the time when the ring formed, projected onto the ring's
size, structure, and composition. Tree rings thus are natural archives of past environments …

Studies on Fagus sylvatica show that growth in populations toward the southern limit of this
species' distribution is limited strongly by drought. Warming temperatures in the …

Quantitative estimates of 1480 years of summer temperatures in northern Fennoscandia
have previously been derived from continuous treering records from northern Sweden. Here …

The problem of constructing millennia-long tree-ring chronologies from overlap**
segments of cross-dated ring-width series is reviewed, with an emphasis on preserving very …

Abstract free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) and open top chamber (OTC) studies
are valuable tools for evaluating the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 on nutrient cycling …

During the 20th century, high mortality rates of Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) have been
observed over large areas in the Rhône valley (Valais, Switzerland) and in other dry valleys …

Dendrochronology generally operates under the assumption that climate–growth
relationships are age independent, once growth trends and/or disturbance pulses have …
