    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asia; atmospheric circulation; Central Asia; dendroclimatology; growth-climate relationship; objectively classified weather types; teleconnections; tree-ring networks;

    Abstract : Observed 20th century warming trends accompanied by more frequent weather extremes such as droughts or intense rainfall events have consequences for societies and environments alike. In Asia, where the majority of the population depend on agricultural productivity, recent climate change is likely to increase societal hardships. READ MORE

  4. 2. Trees and the environment : Possibilities and challenges in tree-ring research across spatial and temporal scales based on case studies in Sweden

    Author : Eva Rocha; Steffen Holzkämper; Björn Gunnarson; Anders Moberg; Martin De Luis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tree rings; Sweden; climate variability; environmental monitoring; ring width; maximum latewood density; stem radial increment; ED-XRF; light rings; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;
