TL;DR: The authors reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions during the past one to two millennia and found that the most coherent feature in nearly all of the regional temperature reconstructions is a long-term cooling trend, which ended late in the nineteenth century.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tracheid dimensions on variations in the maximum density of Picea glehnii mast, which were associated with climatic changes, were examined by application of dendroclimatological techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, tree-ring width chronologies were developed for Abies veitchii, Betula ermanii and Betula platyphylla var. japonica on Mount Norikura, central Japan, to determine what climatic conditions affect the growth of tree species in the upper and lower distribution limits of an altitudinal ecotone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the tree-ring width of Betula ermanii at the timberline (2,400 m a.s.l.) on Mount Norikura in central Japan was examined.

TL;DR: The authors' observations suggest that Sidei and Daintree might be more appropriate provenances among those examined for the Acacia mangium tree-breeding programs in Indonesia that are aimed at improving wood quality, because these provenances are associated with longer initial wood fibers and narrower juvenile areas than the other provenances studied.
