TL;DR: Megadroughts reconstructed over north-central Europe in the 11th and mid-15th centuries reinforce other evidence from North America and Asia that droughts were more severe, extensive, and prolonged over Northern Hemisphere land areas before the 20th century, with an inadequate understanding of their causes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell size and wall dimensions drive distinct variability of earlywood and latewood density in Northern Hemisphere conifers
Jesper Björklund,Kristina Seftigen,Kristina Seftigen,Kristina Seftigen,Fritz H. Schweingruber,Patrick Fonti,Georg von Arx,Marina V. Bryukhanova,Marina V. Bryukhanova,Henri E. Cuny,Marco Carrer,Daniele Castagneri,David Frank,David Frank +13 more
TL;DR: The novel approach of integrating detailed anatomical data with large-scale tree-ring data allowed this work to contribute to an improved understanding of interannual variations of conifer growth and to illustrate how conifers balance investments in the competing xylem functions of hydraulics and mechanical support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing forest vulnerability to climate warming using a process-based model of tree growth: bad prospects for rear-edges.
Raúl Sánchez-Salguero,Raúl Sánchez-Salguero,J. Julio Camarero,Emilia Gutiérrez,Fidel González Rouco,Antonio Gazol,Gabriel Sangüesa-Barreda,Laia Andreu-Hayles,Juan Carlos Linares,Kristina Seftigen +9 more
TL;DR: The projections of growth reduction in silver fir and Scots pine portend dieback and a contraction of their species distribution areas through potential local extinctions of the most vulnerable driest rear-edge stands, and the modeling approach provides accessible tools to evaluate forest vulnerability to warmer conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
When tree rings go global: Challenges and opportunities for retro- and prospective insight

TL;DR: The benefits of combining the temporal information embedded in tree rings with the spatial information offered by forest inventories and earth observations to quantify tree growth and its drivers are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature variations recorded in Pinus tabulaeformis tree rings from the southern and northern slopes of the central Qinling Mountains, central China
Yu Liu,Hans W. Linderholm,Huiming Song,Qiufang Cai,Qinhua Tian,Junyan Sun,Deliang Chen,Elisabeth Simelton,Kristina Seftigen,Hua Tian,Ruiyuan Wang,Guang Bao,Zhisheng An +12 more
TL;DR: Liu et al. as discussed by the authors used Pinus tabulaeformis tree rings from the southern and northern slopes of the central Qinling Mountains, central China, to reconstruct seasonal temperature variations.
