Tree growth, transpiration, and water-use efficiency between shoreline and upland red maple (Acer rubrum) trees in a coastal forest

Coastal shoreline forests are vulnerable to seawater exposure, the impacts of which will increase due to sea-level rise, but the long-term adaptation strategies and vulnerability of coastal forests are not well understood. We used whole-tree transpiration, ...

Spruce tree-ring proxy signals during cold and warm periods

The strength and temporal rigidity of climate signals are important characteristics of proxy data used to reconstruct climate variability over pre-instrumental periods. Here, we assess the performance of different tree-ring proxies, including ring width, m ...

Responses of antinomic foliar traits to experimental climate forcing in beech and spruce saplings

Alexandre Buttler, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Constant Signarbieux, María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer

Global warming is predicted to have a strong impact on mountain ecosystems. Subalpine sylvopastoral systems are very sensitive to climate change, which puts their future sustainability at stake. These ecosystems are mostly dominated by spruce and beech, an ...

Impacts of regional climatic fluctuations on radial growth of Siberian and Scots pine at Mukhrino mire (central-western Siberia)

Luca Bragazza, Guillaume Blanchet, Baptiste Calliari

Ring width (TRW) chronologies from Siberian (Pinus sibirica) and Scots (Pinus sylvestris) pine trees were sampled at Mukhrino - a large mire complex in central-western Siberia - to evaluate the impacts of hydroclimatic variability on tree growth over the l ...

Subfossil peatland trees as proxies for Holocene palaeohydrology and palaeoclimate

Luca Bragazza

Due to the scarcity of reliable and highly resolved moisture proxies covering much of the Holocene, there has been increased interest in the study of living and subfossil peatland trees sensitive to gradual and extreme changes in hydrology, precipitation, ...

Two ancient human genomes reveal Polynesian ancestry among the indigenous Botocudos of Brazil

Jeffrey David Jensen

Summary Understanding the peopling of the Americas remains an important and challenging question. Here, we present 14C dates, and morphological, isotopic and genomic sequence data from two human skulls from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, part of one of ...

Reconstructing Evolving Tree Structures in Time Lapse Sequences

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Raphael Sznitman, Jan Kybic, Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki, Miguel Amável Dos Santos Pinheiro, Daniel Lebrecht

We propose an approach to reconstructing tree structures that evolve over time in 2D images and 3D image stacks such as neuronal axons or plant branches. Instead of reconstructing structures in each image independently, we do so for all images simultaneous ...

Nitrogen limitation and microbial diversity at the treeline

Alexandre Buttler, Julien Roy, Aurélie Thébault

Tree growth limitation at treeline has mainly been studied in terms of carbon limitation while effects and mechanisms of potential nitrogen (N) limitation are barely known, especially in the southern hemisphere. We investigated how soil abiotic properties ...

Studying sulfur functional groups in Norway spruce year rings using S L-edge total electron yield spectroscopy

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis

Profiles of the major sulfur functional groups in mature Norway spruce wood tissue have been established for the first time. The big challenge was the development of a method suitable for sulfur speciation in samples with very low sulfur content (
