Christian Körner has been at the forefront of research investigating treelines, and in the late
1990s and early 2000s he proposed a unifying theory to explain the global occurrence of …

The ability of tree species to cope with anticipated decrease in water availability is still poorly
understood. We evaluated the potential of Norway spruce, Scots pine, European larch, black …

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

Sedimentary archives at or near the timberline ecotone in Alpine glaciated areas contain
records to study Holocene climate change and the interplay between climate, ecosystems …

Climate change is challenging forestry management and practices. Among other things, tree
species with the ability to cope with more extreme climate conditions have to be identified …

In spite of being the highest in the Northern Hemisphere (up to 4900 m), treelines in
Himalayas are among the least investigated systems. This paper (i) sheds light on treeline …

With climate change, the frequency and duration of droughts are increasing, strongly
impacting forest ecosystems. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the factors influencing …

To assess daily relationships between xylem development and the environment, precise
knowledge of tree-ring development is required. This includes accurate estimations of the …

Stable oxygen isotope ratios of plant water (sap water) were observed at Spasskaya Pad
experimental forest near Yakutsk, Russia in 1997–1999. The δ 18 O of sap water in larch …

We analyzed growth responses to climate of 24 tree-ring width and four maximum latewood
density chronologies from the greater Tatra region in Poland and Slovakia. This network …
