August–September temperature reconstruction over the period 1792–2020 based on a tree-ring maximum latewood density
<p>We present a late summer (August–September) temperature reconstruction over the period<br> 1792–2020 based on a tree-ring maximum latewood density (MXD) chronology for the southern Tibetan Plateau (TP).<br> The reconstruction explained 66.2% of the variance in the instrumental temperature records during the calibration period<br> 1960–2020.</p>
Indexed tree-ring oak chronologies from Vitsebsk region, Belarus
<p>The dataset includes two indexed tree-ring oak chronologies which combines subfossil wood (Luchosa river), wood from Polotsk Saviour's Transfiguration Church, and wood from archaeological excavations in Vitsebsk and Polotsk (Northern Belarus). Both chronologies were absolute dated against chronologies from the neighboring regions as well as Baltic timber imported to the Western Europe (Baltic 1, 2, 3 chronologies).</p>
Carpathian tree-ring network for European beech and Norway spruce
<p>Basic ecological theory suggests that a tradeoff between competitiveness and stress tolerance dictates species range limits at regional extents. However, empirical support for this key theory remains deficient because the necessary spatial and temporal coverage and scalability of field observations have rarely been achieved. We harnessed an extensive dendroecological network (>22,000 tree-ring samples from 816 forest inventory plots) to disentangle competition-limited from climate-limited growth in both overstory and understory trees. Growth synchrony among trees thereby served as an integral metric of climate sensitivity, an approach that we justify in supplementary analyses of growth responses to temperature, precipitation, and the standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index. Sampling plots were arranged along elevational climate and vegetation gradients throughout the Carpathian Mountains, ranging from mixed-species lowland forests to coniferous forests at high elevations. With mixed-effect modelling, we also identified non-climatic factors (stand characteristics, species diversity, and disturbance history) that modulate spatial patterns in the growth rate and synchrony of European beech (<em>Fagus sylvatica</em> L.) and Norway spruce (<em>Picea abies</em> (L.) Karst.). Beech exhibited reduced growth and increased climate sensitivity towards higher elevations but performed better when species diversity was higher. The growth of spruce increased towards its lower range boundary, but understory cohorts grew poorly under interspecific competition. Overall, climate sensitivity was lower in more productive stands with benign climatic conditions and in recently disturbed sites with reduced stand density. These contrasting performances at mid-elevations where the two species overlap (900 – 1300 m a.s.l.) reflect their evolutionary history, which enables them to be competitive (beech) or cold-stress tolerant (spruce). This history will affect interactions between the two species under climate warming and shape macroecological patterns in the Carpathian ecoregion and likely other parts of Europe. Our findings point to a growing advantage of competitively stronger species in montane and subalpine vegetation zones.</p>

Tree-ring stable isotopes suggest an increase in Asian monsoon rainfall at 4.2 ka BP
<p>A synthesis of stable oxygen isotope records from tree rings and speleothems does not support a significant hydroclimate transition in our study region around 4.2 ka, nor the notion that this rapid climate deterioration should be regarded as generalized climatic transition from the mid to late Holocene. </p>
Data from: Contrasting climate sensitivity of Pinus cembra tree-ring traits in the Carpathians
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>High elevation ecosystems are one of the most sensitive to climate change. The analysis of growth and xylem structure of trees from marginal populations, especially the ones growing at the treeline, could provide early-warning signs to better understand species-specific responses to future climate conditions. In this study, we combined classical dendrochronology with wood density and anatomical measurements to investigate the climate sensitivity of <em>Pinus cembra</em> L., a typical European high-elevation tree species </span><span>distributed in isolated patches</span><span> in the Carpathians. Samples were collected from the Retezat Mountains, South-Western Romania. We analyzed ring-width (TRW), maximum density (MXD), xylem anatomical traits (cell number per ring (CNo), cell density (CD), conduit area (CA), and cell-wall </span><span>thickness (CWT)) time series, split into </span><span>ring </span><span>sectors and assessed the relationships with monthly and daily climate records over the last century (1901-2015). The analysis showed a strong dependency of TRW on CNo and MXD on CWT. Summer temperature positively correlated with MXD and CWT (monthly correlation (<em><span>r) </span></em><span>were<em> </em></span>0.65 and 0.48 respectively) from the early- to late-wood but not TRW (<em><span>r</span></em>=0.22). CA positively correlated with water availability (<em><span>r=</span></em>0.37) and negatively correlated with temperature (<em><span>r=</span></em>-0.39). This study improves our general understanding of the climate-growth relationships of a European</span><span> high-elevation tree species and the results could be considered for forecasting population dynamics on projected changes in climate.</span></p>
Data for: Tree-ring 15N isotope of red alder
<p>Nitrogen (N) accretion rates under N<sub>2</sub>-fixing tree species can vary with site condition and possibly decline over time with down-regulation of N fixation. Tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N may depict these site-specific, long-term patterns in N dynamics, but field trials with N<sub>2-</sub>fixing tree species are lacking. We examined whether tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N of N<sub>2</sub>-fixing red alder (<em>Alnus rubra</em>) would mirror N accretion rates and δ<sup>15</sup>N of soils. We sampled a 27-year-old replacement series trial on southeastern Vancouver Island with red alder and coastal Douglas-fir (<em>Pseudotsuga menziesii</em>) in five proportions (0/100, 11/89, 25/75, 50/50, and 100/0, respectively). A<span>n escalation in forest floor N content was evident with an increasing proportion of red alder, equivalent to a difference of approximately 750 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup> between 100% Douglas-fir vs. 100% alder. The forest floor horizon was also enriched in </span>δ<sup>15</sup>N<span> under denser red alder treatments. </span><span>Red alder had a consistent quadratic fit in tree-ring </span><span>δ</span><sup><span>15</span></sup><span>N over time, with a net increase of </span><span>1.5</span><span>‰</span><span>, on average, before declining slightly. Douglas-fir tree-ring </span><span>δ</span><sup><span>15</span></sup><span>N, in contrast, was largely unchanged over time (in 3 of 4 plots) but significantly enriched in the 50/50 mix. The minor differences in current litter N content and leaf </span><span>δ</span><span>15</span><span>N between alder and Douglas-fir suggests the declining trend in alder tree-ring </span><span>δ</span><sup><span>15</span></sup><span>N could coincide with lower N-fixation rates, either by down-regulation via nitrate availability or loss in alder vigour with shading and drought. We suggest tree-ring </span><span>δ</span><sup><span>15</span></sup><span>N can provide insights into the abiotic constraints and facultative/obligate nature of N fixation for N<sub>2</sub>-fixing trees.</span></p>

Data from: The International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) revisited: data availability and global ecological representativity
Aim: The International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) is the most comprehensive database of tree growth. To evaluate its usefulness and improve its accessibility to the broad scientific community, we aimed to: i) quantify its biases, ii) assess how well it represents global forests, iii) develop tools to identify priority areas to improve its representativity, and iv) make available the corrected database. Location: Worldwide. Time period: Contributed datasets between 1974 and 2017. Major taxa studied: Trees. Methods: We identified and corrected formatting issues in all individual datasets of the ITRDB. We then calculated the representativity of the ITRDB with respect to species, spatial coverage, climatic regions, elevations, need for data update, climatic limitations on growth, vascular plant diversity, and associated animal diversity. We combined these metrics into a global Priority Sampling Index (PSI) to highlight ways to improve ITRDB representativity. Results: Our refined dataset provides access to a network of >52 million growth data points worldwide. We found, however, that the database is dominated by trees from forests with low diversity, in semi-arid climates, coniferous species, and in western North America. Conifers represented 81% of the ITRDB and even in well sampled areas, broadleaves were poorly represented. Our PSI stressed the need to increase the database diversity in terms of broadleaf species and identified poorly represented regions that require scientific attention. Great gains will be made by increasing research and data sharing in African, Asian, and South American forests. Main conclusions: The extensive data and coverage of the ITRDB shows great promise to address macroecological questions. To achieve this, however, we have to overcome the significant gaps in the representativity of the ITRDB. A strategic and organized group effort is required, and we hope the tools and data provided here can guide the efforts to improve this invaluable database.
