TLDR
The annual growth of trees, as represented by a variety of ringwidth, densitometric, or chemical parameters, represents a combined record of different environmental forcings, one of which is climat...Abstract:

Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change
TL;DR: Range-restricted species, particularly polar and mountaintop species, show severe range contractions and have been the first groups in which entire species have gone extinct due to recent climate change.
Biological consequences of global warming: is the signal already
TL;DR: Evidence from long-term monitoring studies suggests that the climate of the past few decades is anomalous compared with past climate variation, and that recent climatic and atmospheric trends are already affecting species physiology, distribution and phenology.

Biological consequences of global warming: is the signal already apparent?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the climate of the past few decades is anomalous compared with past climate variation, and that recent climatic and atmospheric trends are already affecting species physiology, distribution and phenology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotopes in tree rings.
Danny McCarroll,Neil J. Loader +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of isotope dendroclimatology, explaining the underlying theory and describing the steps taken in building and interpreting isotope chronologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree and forest functioning in response to global warming
TL;DR: This review focuses on tree and forest responses at boreal and temperate latitudes, ranging from the cellular to the ecosystem level, and management is critical for a positive response of forest growth to a warmer climate.

On the Average Value of Correlated Time Series, with Applications in Dendroclimatology and Hydrometeorology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived formulas for the correlation coefficient between the average of a finite number of time series and the population average, where the subsample signal strength (SSS) and expressed population signal (EPS) were derived.
