Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of tree-ring records for use in the development of climate reconstructions, and the testing and use of such reconstructions will be the focus of the Special Issue, titled “Dendrochronology and Dendroclimatology in the Mediterranean Basin” for the Journal of Forests (ISSN 1999-4907). The Mediterranean Basin is a water deficit region with a history of conflict over land and natural resources. The submitted manuscripts will contribute essential information about climatic variability in this region, and its role in global change. This will have relevance to the research-policy community. Dendrochronology is the science of tree-ring dating, by which the annual growth layers of trees may be assigned to the exact year of their formation. Dendrochronology has made a significant contribution to the science of climatology, specifically in the Mediterranean Basin. Dendroclimatology will place tree rings as natural archives of climate fluctuation in the context of interannual- to millennial-fluctuations in climate, and of other sources of evidence.
