Climate model projections suggest widespread drying in the Mediterranean Basin and wetting Fennoscandia coming decades largely as a consequence of greenhouse gas forcing climate. To place these other "Old World" climate into historical perspective based on more complete estimates natural hydroclimatic variability, we have developed World Drought Atlas" (OWDA), set year-to-year maps tree-ring reconstructed summer wetness dryness over Europe during Common Era. The OWDA matches accounts severe...
Tree ring–based temperature reconstructions form the scientific backbone of current global change debate. Although some European records extend into medieval times, high-resolution, long-term, regional-scale paleoclimatic evidence is missing for eastern part continent. Here we compile 545 samples living trees and historical timbers from greater Tatra region to reconstruct interannual centennial-long variations in Eastern May–June back 1040 AD. Recent anthropogenic warming exceeds range past...
Core Ideas TERENO‐NE investigates the regional impact of global change. We facilitate interdisciplinary geo‐ecological research. Our data sets comprise monitoring and geoarchives. are able to bridge time scales from minutes millennia. The Northeast German Lowland Observatory (TERENO‐NE) was established investigate climate land use focuses on lowlands, for which a high vulnerability has been determined due increasing temperatures decreasing amounts precipitation projected coming decades. To...
Throughout history, humans have relied on wood for constructions, tool production or as an energy source. How and to what extent these human activities impacted plant abundance composition over a long-term perspective is, however, not well known. To address this knowledge gap, we combined 44,239 precisely dated tree-ring samples from economically ecologically important tree species (spruce, fir, pine, oak) historical buildings, pollen-based cover estimates using the REVEALS model 169 records...
Although variations in building activity are a useful indicator of societal well-being and demographic development, historical datasets for larger regions longer periods still rare. Here, we present 54,045 annually precise dendrochronological felling dates from construction timber across most Europe between 1250 1699 CE to infer activity. We use geostatistical techniques compare spatiotemporal dynamics past European against independent demographic, economic, social climatic data. show that...
Abstract An interdisciplinary study was carried out to trace the hydrological changes of Havel River in northeastern central Europe over last ca . 2000 years. This research driven by hypothesis that present‐day riverscape is a large degree result medieval and modern human transformation drainage system. The river system forms series dammed lakes sections were greatly altered through hydraulic engineering past. Along middle course Havel, 16 sedimentary sequences available for...
Abstract
Abstract. The African baobab, Adansonia digitata L., has great paleoclimatological potential because of its wide distributional range and millennial length life span. However, dendroclimatological approaches are hampered by dating uncertainties due to unique, parenchyma-dominated stem anatomy. Here, securely dated time series annual wood increment growth intra-ring stable isotopes carbon oxygen cellulose for a baobab tree from Oman covering 1941 2005 were established tested relationships...
The result of correlation analysis between tree-ring growth and climate is the key indicator in dendroclimatic investigations.Combinations different datasets with parameters Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana Fisch.et Mey.), give results.Samples for this study were collected forests northern Tian Shan southeastern part Kazakhstan.Several combinations monthly, daily, gridded station data earlywood (EW), latewood (LW), total ring width (TRW) young, old mixed (old young) trees checked.EW showed...
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), all of Africa is very likely warm up more than global average during this century.Especially (semi-)arid regions are expected experience particularly high warming and possibly catastrophic droughts.However, assessments impacts climate change these currently impeded by a lack transregional temporal resolution proxy data for African continent.Baobab trees widely distributed in can reach ages 2000 years.This pilot study was...
The dendrochronological investigations were conducted primarily on timber from the region of Korca in south-east Albania. samples come recent trees, churches, secular buildings, icons and piles prehistoric settlements shore Great Prespa Lake Macedonian side Ohrid. majority 564 conifers, particular European Black Pine (Pinus nigra), Bosnian heldreichii), fir (Abies sp.) times also juniper ( Juniperus sp.). So far it has only been possible to sample wood deciduous trees like beech (Fagus oak...
