We review evidence for climate change over the past several millennia from instrumental
and high‐resolution climate “proxy” data sources and climate modeling studies. We focus on …

This review of late-Holocene palaeoclimatology represents the results from a
PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection Panel meeting that took place in June 2006. The review is in …

Tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) is a method of scientific dating based on the analysis of
tree-ring growth patterns. As author James Speer notes, trees are remarkable bioindicators …

Tree-ring analysis in the tropics exists since more than one hundred years. In more than 20
tropical countries and numerous tree species the existence of annual tree-rings is doubtless …

Over vast areas of the world's landmasses, where climate beats out a strong seasonal
rhythm, tree growth keeps unerring time. In their rings, trees record many climate melodies …

Many tropical regions show one distinct dry season. Often, this seasonality induces cambial
dormancy of trees, particularly if these belong to deciduous species. This will often lead to …

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 …

Agriculture is expanding rapidly in the miombo woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. Clear
felling results in the loss of species and ecosystem services. The remaining woodland is …

Disturbances influence forest dynamics across a range of spatial and temporal scales. In
tropical forests most studies have focused on disturbances occurring at small spatial and …

In a semi-deciduous natural forest stand in Cameroon a forest inventory and increment
estimations on all trees with a diameter above 10cm were carried out in an area of 1ha. The …
