TLDR
In this paper, the main characteristics of the tree-ring series of European oaks (Quercus robur and Q. petraea) are discussed and the latest methodological advances in defining the calendar year in which tree-rings were formed and in interpreting such dating in terms of the age of a wooden object.About:

TL;DR: Reconstruction of tree ring–based reconstructions of central European summer precipitation and temperature variability over the past 2500 years may provide a basis for counteracting the recent political and fiscal reluctance to mitigate projected climate change.

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.

TL;DR: This article presented 953 living and historical oak (Quercus sp) ring width samples from Central Germany (51−52 ) and showed that the variability in the hydrological cycle has and will impact terrestrial ecosystems, agricultural productivity, socioeconomic conditions, and public health on various time-scales.

Toward consistent measurements of carbon accumulation: A multi-site assessment of biomass and basal area increment across Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied a consistent biomass-oriented sampling design at five managed forest sites located in different climate zones to assess the annual carbon accumulation in above-ground woody tissues (i.e. stems and branches) and its climate response.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new calibration curve for the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages has been constructed and internationally ratified to replace IntCal98, which extended from 0-24 cal kyr BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950).
