Tree-ring climate responses

Tree ring segmentation performance in highly disturbed trees using deep learning

This study tests deep learning's ability to segment tree rings in highly disturbed trees, finding lower performance in abnormal growth patterns but success in narrow, uniform rings.

Limited predictability of tree-level responses to drought across European forests

This study assesses factors influencing tree drought resilience using tree ring data from 2909 trees across Europe, finding limited predictability in drought responses.

The signature of reproduction on wood anatomy in European beech reveals potential for masting reconstruction

The paper assesses wood anatomical traits in European beech to improve masting event reconstruction, finding that traits like parenchyma cells and vessel density better predict reproduction than tree-ring width.

Mist4Cores: Reliable batch image stitching for dendrochronological cores

MIST4Cores automates image stitching for dendrochronological cores with customizable settings and open-source tools.

Negative resilience trends to more frequent extreme droughts in Mediterranean oak species

This study examines the decline in resilience of Mediterranean oak species to extreme droughts, showing reduced recovery capacity since 1970 in wetter regions.

Spruce hybrids show superior cumulative growth and intermediate response to climate anomalies, as compared to their ecologically divergent parental species

The paper compares growth and climate response traits between black spruce, red spruce, and their hybrids, finding hybrids show superior cumulative growth and intermediate climate responses.
