The study of anatomical irregularities in tree rings has recently gained momentum as a
complement to traditional tree-ring measurements as they may provide information on …

This chapter overviews long-standing foundations, methods, and concepts of
dendrochronology, yet also pays attention to a few related paradigm shifts driven by isotope …

Climate change is causing a shift to earlier spring budburst in deciduous temperate trees,
which may predispose them to greater risk of damage from growing season frosts. Populus …

This study develops the use of 'blue rings'(BR), reflecting incomplete cell wall lignification, as
a sensitive thermal indicator in bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva DK Bailey). Using double …

Austrocedrus chilensis is a South American conifer broadly distributed across the
subtropical and extratropical Andes that is widely utilized in tree-ring studies. This species …

In plant stems, local and short-term climatic factors highly influence programmed wood cell
production, size, shape, wall composition and thickness. Previous analyses of conifer woods …

Key message At the eastern range limit of silver fir, there is moderate population
differentiation in tolerance to frost damages. Differentiated management measures …

Global climate change has led to shifts in the frequency and severity of extreme eather and
climatic events, including the occurrence of extremely low temperatures during the growing …

The physiological structure and growth of trees in extreme environments (freezing
temperatures, prolonged drought, wildfires, pest infestations, and diseases) can be inhibited …

Earlier spring and earlier onset of growth, as a consequence of climate change, may expose
trees and crops to increased risk of exposure to frost damage. In this study, we compare the …
