Tree-ring studies provide important contributions to understanding the climate sensitivity of
tropical trees and the effects of global change on tropical forests. This chapter reviews recent …

Over the last decade the field of tropical dendroecology has developed rapidly and major
achievements have been made. We reviewed the advances in three main themes within the …

Climate change effects on growth rates of tropical trees may lead to alterations in carbon
cycling of carbon-rich tropical forests. However, climate sensitivity of broad-leaved lowland …

Implementing sustainable forest management requires basic information on growth, ages,
reproduction and survival of exploited tree species. This information is generally derived …

Recent methodological advances have opened new perspectives for tropical
dendrochonological studies by facilitating the visualization, delimitation, and analyses of …

We review a vast literature of Neotropical forest science and wood anatomical research that
identifies 220 tree species from 46 botanical families with confirmed annual tree-ring …

Tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle and climate regulation.
However, our understanding of how Asian tropical forest growth responds to climatic …

Key message Analyses of tree-ring anatomical features showed to be more sensitive to
specific intra-seasonal environmental factors than tree-ring width in Tectona grandis and …

A Cedrela odorata tree ring width chronology spanning from 1786 to 2016 was developed in
the quasi-equatorial eastern Amazon Basin. Annual calendar dates were assigned using …

The occurrence of annual growth rings in tropical trees—the result of the seasonal activity of
vascular cambium—has been explained by seasonal water deficit or flooding periods …
