Tropical and subtropical dendrochronology: Approaches, applications, and prospects
(2022-09)
Tropical and subtropical forests cover only 7 % of the Earth’s land surface. Yet, they host nearly half of global tree density with a high species number (~40,000 species), store up to 25 % of global terrestrial carbon and ...
Does drought incite tree decline and death in Austrocedrus chilensis forests?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-11)
Questions: Is mal del ciprés, the widespread decline and death of Austrocedrus chilensis trees, caused by a single pathogen or multiple factors? Using a novel dendrochronological approach, we disentangled the influences ...
150 years of tree establishment, land use and climate change in montane grasslands, northwest Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-01)
Degraded grasslands resulting from intensive land use appear to be highly resistant to tree invasion due to interactions between land use, climate, grazing and fire. We describe long-term patterns of tropical montane forest ...
Dendrochronological potential of Prumnopitys andina (Podocarpaceae) at the southern limit of its range in the Chilean Andes
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021-02)
Prumnopitys andina is a South American podocarp with a restricted distribution in southern Andean temperate forests, and is severely threatened due to habitat loss. Despite much dendrochronological work on other temperate ...
Sex-related, growth–climate association of Araucaria angustifolia in the neotropical ombrophilous woodlands of Argentina
(2013)
Araucaria angustifolia is a dioecious dominant tree in araucaria forests in Brazil and Argentina, South America. The species is nowadays critically endangered by deforestation and global climate change. The goal of this ...
Neotropical Hypericum irazuense shrubs reveal recent ENSO variability in Costa Rican páramo
(2020-06)
Climate-vegetation relations in alpine systems play a pivotal role in regulating hydrology and have thus become
a research priority in a context of ongoing climate change. In this paper, we investigate how one of the ...
