TL;DR: In this article, a cellulose extraction system for small amounts of wood and leaves is described, which allows simultaneous extraction of cellulose from 150 samples by means of in-house filter tubes, where chemicals used for the cellulose extract are exchanged and eliminated in batches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate differences in climate induced by topography (topoclimate) to better understand the dual signals of temperature and moisture, unmix signals from trees growing at and near the upper forest border based on the seasonal mean temperature (SMT) experienced by each tree.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a high resolution gridded precipitation dataset to investigate the apparent discrepancies and quantify the spatiotemporal complexities of the Central American Midsummer Drought (MSD) and detect spatially variable trends in MSD timing, the amount of rainy season precipitation, the number of consecutive and total dry days, and extreme wet events at the local scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a recently developed methodology that circumvents the GCM limitation of coarse resolution in order to project future changes in aridity on small island developing states (SIDS) and find that future population growth will dominate changes in projected freshwater stress especially toward the end of the century.

TL;DR: The re-implementation in a high level interpreted language, while sacrificing speed, provides opportunities to systematically evaluate model parameters, generate large ensembles of simulated tree-ring chronologies, and embed proxy system modeling within data assimilation approaches to climate reconstruction.
