Among elm tree species, prevalently concentrated in the temperate regions of the northern
hemisphere, three species are present in Europe with a wide range and native to most …

We describe a new R package, paleofire, for analysis and synthesis of charcoal time series,
such as those contained in the Global Charcoal Database (GCD), that are used to …

The association between climate variability and episodic events, such as the antecedent
moisture conditions prior to wildfire or the cooling following volcanic eruptions, is commonly …

The European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) is a pioneer, very long-lived, fast-growing
coniferous tree, which occurs in the central and eastern mountains of Europe, forming open …

Summary 1 The tree‐ring growth response of stone pine (Pinus cembra L.) to climatic
variability was studied in the Alps. The aims were (i) to assess tree‐ring growth patterns at …

Knowledge of the persistence of regular larch budmoth outbreaks is limited in space and
time. Although dendrochronological methods have been used to reconstruct insect …

The sudden interruption of recurring larch budmoth (LBM; Zeiraphera diniana or griseana
Gn.) outbreaks across the European Alps after 1982 was surprising, because populations …

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 …

Recent experiments have underlined the potential of δ2H in tree-ring cellulose as a
physiological indicator of shifts in autotrophic versus heterotrophic processes (ie, the use of …

Three plots were sampled along an altitudinal gradient in the upper Susa Valley (Piedmont,
Italy) on a northeastern slope from 1800 to 2300 m asl In order to reconstruct recent …
