Stable isotopes in tree rings: towards a mechanistic understanding of isotope fractionation and mixing processes from the leaves to the wood
The mechanistic understanding of isotope fractionation processes is increasing but we still
lack detailed knowledge of the processes that determine the isotopic composition of the tree …

A theory-driven approach to tree-ring standardization: defining the biological trend from expected basal area increment
One of the main elements of dendrochronological standardization is removing the biological
trend, ie the progressive decline of ring width along a cross-sectional radius that is caused …

Density‐dependent vulnerability of forest ecosystems to drought
Climate models predict increasing drought intensity and frequency for many regions, which
may have negative consequences for tree recruitment, growth and mortality, as well as forest …

The influence of sampling design on tree‐ring‐based quantification of forest growth
Tree‐rings offer one of the few possibilities to empirically quantify and reconstruct forest
growth dynamics over years to millennia. Contemporaneously with the growing scientific …
