Summer drought reconstruction in northeastern Spain inferred from a tree ring latewood network since 1734

Summer drought reconstruction in northeastern Spain inferred from a tree ring latewood network since 1734

summer_drought

Abstract Drought recurrence in the Mediterranean is regarded as a fundamental factor for socioeconomic development and the resilience of natural systems in context of global change. However, knowledge of past droughts has been hampered by the absence of high‐resolution proxies. We present a drought reconstruction for the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula based on a … Leer más

Soil moisture and its role in growth-climate relationships across an aridity gradient in semiarid Pinus halepensis forests

soil_moisture

Abstract In Mediterranean areas with limited availability of water, an accurate knowledge of growth response to hydrological variables could contribute to improving management and stability of forest resources. The main goal of this study is to assess the temporal dynamic of soil moisture to better understand the water-growth relationship of Pinus halepensis forests in semiarid … Leer más
