Due to the lack of long-term climate records, our understanding of paleoclimatic variability in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is still limited. In this study, we developed a tree-ring width (TRW) chronology based on tree-ring cores collected from our stud...
Forests in low-latitude (0° N–30° N) regions are important for greenhouse gas sequestration. They harbor around 25% of vegetation carbon stocks. The productivity of these forests is expected to change as the global climate changes. They...
During an interdisciplinary study of the mire “Torfowisko pod Małym Śnieżnikiem”, a very old specimen of the Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) was encountered. The aim of the present work was to perform a detailed examination...
Global warming has profoundly affected human socioeconomic development and ecological security. The high-latitude cold regions of China are among the most sensitive areas to global hydroclimatic changes, making it urgent to clarify the long-term clim...
Pre-hospital use of whole blood is becoming increasingly prevalent in EMS and military medicine. Technologies to store, transport, warm up, and transfuse the blood are now available, and the outcome of whole blood transfusion seems to be superior to...
Structural adaptations of wood to environmental conditions play a crucial role in shaping its mechanical and hydraulic properties, which are vital for the performance and survival of fir and beech. In this study, we investigated how site-specific cli...
Global warming and the sharp rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations have a profound impact on forest ecosystems. To better manage these changes, a comprehensive understanding of forest ecosystem responses to global change is essential. There is a lac...
Reconstruction of relative humidity changes in the upper Tarim River using carbon isotopic tree-ring chronology bridges the gap in historical observations on the Tarim River Basin in Arid Central Asia. Populus euphratica Olivier (P. euphratica), grow...
Yunnan is located in the southwestern part of China, with rich tea tree germplasm resources and diversified geomorphological and climatic features, which help us to carry out research related to tea tree chronology and provide scientific and effectiv...
A changing climate and global warming have adversely affected Pakistan’s moist and dry temperate vegetation. Abies pindrow (fir) (Royle ex D.Don) Royle and Picea smithiana (spruce) Wall.) Boiss are the two major representative species of the mo...
Due to global warming, in the northeastern semiarid coastal regions of Brazil, regional and global drivers are responsible for decreasing continental runoff and increasing estuarine water residence time, which promotes a greater mobilization of bioav...
The ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa, Douglas ex C. Lawson) is a climate-sensitive tree species dominant in the mixed conifer stands of the San Bernardino Mountains of California. However, the close proximity to the city of Los Angeles has resulted in...
The frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme climate events will probably increase in various areas in the 21st century. This trend is especially critical for the western Tianshan Mountains, which are highly sensitive to climate variability. Her...
In the context of global warming, hydroclimatic conditions in the monsoon marginal zone are governed by two primary drivers: the East Asian monsoon and the westerly winds. As a sensitive indicator of climatic change, this region experiences dispropor...
In this study, we constructed a ring-width chronology derived from Betula ermanii (BE) near the transitional zone between forests and tundra within the Changbai Mountain (CBM) region. This chronology was established utilizing 55 cores obtained from 3...
Density is an important wood mechanical property and an indicator of xylem architecture and hydraulic conductivity. It can be influenced by forest management and climate. We studied the impact of thinning and climate variables on annual stem radial g...
Determining the spatio-temporal patterns of rockfalls, such as the zonation of hazards and the assessment of associated risks, can be challenging due to poor historical archives. Dendrogeomorphological methods cover this lack of data and provide reli...
