  1. 1. Effect of tree age on masting signal in tree-ring chronologies of beech in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Jeppe Van Der Lee; [2023]
    Keywords : beech; masting; masting signal; proxy; tree-ring chronologies; age; dominance; social position; southern Sweden; climate change; tree growth; regeneration success;

    Abstract : Masting is a synchronous and highly variable production of seeds in tree species. Masting may reflect a reproduction strategy to cope with seed predation. In beech, temperature is the cue controlling annual variability in seeding. Masting behaviour in beech typically begins around the age of 40 years. READ MORE

  3. 2. POSSIBLE TIMING OF THE TRANSITION FROM PRE-INDUSTRIAL TO INDUSTRIAL CLIMATE IN THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN OF SWEDEN, BASED ON PROXY DATA FROM TREE-RINGS

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Mika Falkensjö Oppenheim; [2022-09-28]
    Keywords : Tree-ring; maximum latewood density MXD ; Scandinavia; pre-industrial; industrial climate;

    Abstract : Earth’s climate has varied through time, with orbital forcing as the most dominant force on the climate system the last million years, causing glacial-interglacial cycles. The last glacial period ended about 11.6 thousand years (kyr), ago and the last interglacial maximum around 6.5 kyr ago. READ MORE

  4. 3. CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NORWAY SPRUCE TREELINE IN THE CENTRAL SCANDINAVIAN MOUNTAINS Treeline evolution, tree growth and a Blue Intensity summer temperature reconstruction

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fredrik Karlsson; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : Treeline evolution; Tree growth; Norway spruce; central Scandinavian mountains; Blue Intensity;

    Abstract : In the context of global change, mountain regions have received increased interest in recent times with researchers trying to answer how such regions may be affected by a changing climate. Treeline environments are sensitive to the impacts of climate change which may significantly alter the characteristics of the regions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Comparison of annual response to weather for Norway spruce (Picea abies) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Kristian Tufvesson; [2018]
    Keywords : Norway spruce; Scots pine; tree-ring width; climatic response; Southern Sweden;

    Abstract : Different tree species react differently to variation in climate. This relationship can be found by measuring how annual ring width correlates to different climate ariables. This information may be important as a basis for understanding how future forests may be altered by climate change. READ MORE

  6. 5. A dendroclimatic study at Store Mosse, South Sweden : climatic and hydrologic impacts on recent Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) growth dynamics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Anton Hansson; [2013]
    Keywords : klimat; dendrochronology; bog; climate; water table changes; Store Mosse; torvmosse; dendrokronologi; vattenståndsförändringar; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Tallar [i]Pinus sylvestris[/i] som växer på Store mosse i Småland har provtagits. Tolv bestånd från den västra kanten, som tillsammans bildar tre transekter, och tre bestånd från den östra kanten ingår i denna dendrokronologiska undersökning. READ MORE
