Midlatitude surface meteorological conditions are embedded within—and affected by—
synoptic‐scale systems, including the movement and persistence of air masses (AMs) …

Background Subtropical coniferous forests of the lesser Himalaya provide critical ecosystem
services but fire regimes have received limited scientific attention. We reconstructed fire …

Jet streams are a key component of the climate system, whose dynamics couple closely to
regional climate variability. Yet, the link between jet stream variability and vegetation activity …

Understanding varying climate responses in tree‐ring data across tree ages is important, but
little is known about tree‐age effects on climate responses in tree‐ring stable isotopes. To …

Clanwilliam cedar (Widdringtonia cedarbergensis; WICE), a long-lived conifer with distinct
tree rings in Cape Province, South Africa, has potential to provide a unique high-resolution …
