The boreal forests of Central Asia play a vital role in biodiversity protection and regional
economic development. It is important to study potential changes in the growth dynamics of …

In semi-arid lands with warm climates, aridity is a real hazard, with the threat of
desertification because of greater precipitation variability and prolonged droughts. Aridity …

Abstract The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) depicts annual and decadal oscillatory modes
of variability responsible for dry spells over the European continent. The NAO therefore …

In this study we analyzed the influence of general atmospheric circulation patterns and the
frequency of weather types on the spatio-temporal variability of tree-ring growth in Pinus …

The Mediterranean basin represents one of the most important “hot spots” of climate change
in the world, with recent trends towards a hotter and drier climate being related to changes in …

This study investigates the climate impact on the radial increment of pedunculate oak
(Quercus robur L.) in Estonia at the species' northern distribution limit. Tree-ring width series …

NAO effects on tree growth have not been assessed in the Northeastern Iberian Peninsula
where:(i) Atlantic (NAO) and Mediterranean influences affect tree growth and (ii) contrasting …

European beech Fagus sylvatica L. represents one of the most commercially and
ecologically important forest tree species in Europe. The study of climate-growth …

The knowledge of drought (or wetness) conditions is necessary not only for a rational use of
water resources but also for explaining landscape and ecology characteristics. An increase …

Tree-ring growth of Pinus canariensis at high elevation on Tenerife, Canary Islands, is
thought to be principally controlled by drought-induced stress. Aspect of mountain slopes on …
