Trends in background mortality in unmanaged forests across Europe over the last century Open
Anthropogenic climate change has led to increasing background tree mortality rates worldwide. Tree species have different ways of dealing with changing environmental conditions due to their life‐history strategies and location within their…
Deep Neural Networks for the reconstruction of near-surface hourly temperature Open
Near-surface meteorological variables can be reconstructed using various methods, including geostatistical approaches like Kriging or techniques based on inverse problem theory, such as Optimal Interpolation. In recent years, machine learn…
Fennoscandian AND Yamalian tree-ring anatomy shows a warmer modern than medieval climate Open
Earth system models and various climate proxy sources indicate that global warming is unprecedented during at least the Common Era. However, tree-ring proxies often estimate temperatures during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (950–1250&…
Performance assessment of two plotless sampling methods for density estimation applied to some Alpine forests of northeastern Italy Open
In this study, we tested two plotless sampling methods, the ordered distance method and point-centred quarter method, to estimate the tree density and basal area in some managed Alpine forests in northeastern Italy. We selected nine indepe…
The admixture of Quercus sp. in Pinus sylvestris stands influences wood anatomical trait responses to climatic variability and drought events Open
Introduction Forests are threatened by increasingly severe and more frequent drought events worldwide. Mono-specific forests, developed as a consequence of widespread management practices established early last century, seem particularly s…
Climate response of a glacial relict conifer across its distribution range is invariant in space but not in time Open
Climate change impacts on forest trees will be particularly severe for relict species endemic to the subalpine forest, such as Pinus cembra in the Alps and Carpathians. Most current knowledge about the response of this species to climate c…

Sheltered or suppressed? Tree regeneration in unmanaged European forests Open
Tree regeneration is a key demographic process influencing long‐term forest dynamics. It is driven by climate, disturbances, biotic factors and their interactions. Thus, predictions of tree regeneration are challenging due to complex feedb…
Growth form and leaf habit drive contrasting effects of Arctic amplification in long‐lived woody species Open
Current global change is inducing heterogeneous warming trends worldwide, with faster rates at higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. Consequently, tundra vegetation is experiencing an increase in growth rate and uneven but expanding…
Growth form and leaf habit drive contrasting effects of Arctic amplification in long-lived woody species Open
Raw_and_STD_Chronologies.txt contains the raw (suffix "_raw") and indexed (suffix "_std") ring-width chronology derived from seven species (Juniperus communis L., Betula nana L., Salix lanata L., Picea abies L., Pinus contorta Douglas, Bet…

Axial conduit widening, tree height, and height growth rate set the hydraulic transition of sapwood into heartwood Open
The size-related xylem adjustments required to maintain a constant leaf-specific sapwood conductance (KLEAF) with increasing height (H) are still under discussion. Alternative hypotheses are that: (i) the conduit hydraulic diameter (Dh) at…
How late spring frosts affect tree-ring growth and wood anatomical traits of European beech in Mediterranean mountain forests? Open
Xylem anatomical traits in series of annual tree rings, allow establishing structure-function relationships and assessing species sensitivity to environmental variability. Extreme events such as late spring frosts (LSF) and drought spells …
Data: Recent waning snowpack in the Alps is unprecedented in the last six centuries Open
Data_Dendro.txt contains the indexed ring-width chronology derived from living and relict common juniper (Juniperus communis L.) collected within or above the treeline in Ventina valley (46° 18’N, 9° 46’E). This data was used to reconstruc…

Sheltered or suppressed? Tree regeneration in unmanaged European forests Open
Tree regeneration is a key demographic process influencing long-term forest dynamics. It is driven by many biotic and abiotic factors. Thus, predictions of tree regeneration are challenging because of complex feedbacks along climatic gradi…

Contrasting Climate Sensitivity of Pinus cembra Tree-Ring Traits in the Carpathians Open
High-elevation ecosystems are one of the most sensitive to climate change. The analysis of growth and xylem structure of trees from marginal populations, especially the ones growing at the treeline, could provide early-warning signs to bet…
Two path length effects emerging from ontogenetically stable axial xylem design affect the conductance of inner sapwood rings Open
The process of sapwood/heartwood transition in trees is not fully understood. We tested whether the ontogenetically-stable apex-to-base conduit widening generates path length effects limiting the conductance of inner sapwood rings. The axi…
Transient Effects of Snow Cover Duration on Primary Growth and Leaf Traits in a Tundra Shrub Open
With the recent climate warming, tundra ecotones are facing a progressive acceleration of spring snowpack melting and extension of the growing season, with evident consequences to vegetation. Along with summer temperature, winter precipita…
Combining dendroecology and remote sensing to assess how late spring frosts affect European beech forests Open
<p>Climate-extreme induced disturbances such as summer droughts and late spring frosts (LF), can affect productivity and tree growth in temperate forests. In this study we investigated how LFs affect canopy cover and radial growth in…
Influences of summer warming and nutrient availability on Salix glauca L. growth in Greenland along an ice to sea gradient Open
The combined effects of climate change and nutrient availability on Arctic vegetation growth are poorly understood. Archaeological sites in the Arctic could represent unique nutrient hotspots for studying the long-term effect of nutrient e…
