The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. Putting this rapid warming into
perspective is challenging because instrumental records are often short or incomplete in …

Earth system models and various climate proxy sources indicate global warming is
unprecedented during at least the Common Era. However, tree-ring proxies often estimate …

Recent developments in tree-ring research offer great potential for reconstructing past
climate changes; determining the frequencies of natural hazards; and assessing the …

The recent decade has witnessed considerable progress in the number of tree-ring studies
using the tropical conifer taxa, Pinus kesiya. Several tree-ring networks have been …

High-resolution hydroclimate proxy records are essential for distinguishing natural
hydroclimate variability from possible anthropogenically-forced changes, since instrumental …

Many microdensitometric techniques are available for deriving maximum latewood density
(MXD), which is the state-of-the-art proxy parameter for local to hemispheric-scale …

Tree growth depends on tree-intrinsic attributes, synecological interactions, atmospheric
conditions and soil properties. While the influence of tree factors and climate are analysed in …

Tree rings form the backbone of high-resolution palaeoclimatology and represent one of the
most frequently used proxy to reconstruct climate variability of the Common Era. In the …

Blue Intensity (BI) is coming of age in dendrochronology, although some methodological
challenges still need resolution. In the last 20 years, 59 papers have been published …

Quantitative wood anatomy (QWA) has proven to be a powerful method for extracting
relevant environmental information from tree-rings. Although classical image-analysis tools …
