1. Tree Rings as Sensitive Proxies of Past Climate Change
Sammanfattning : In the boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere, time series of tree-ring width (TRW) and maximum density in the latewood (MXD) are highly correlated to local instrumental summer-temperature data and are thus widely used as proxies in high-resolution climate reconstructions. Hence, much of our present knowledge about climatic variability in the last millennium is based on tree-rings. LÄS MER
2. Trees and the environment : Possibilities and challenges in tree-ring research across spatial and temporal scales based on case studies in Sweden
Sammanfattning : The need to understand and quantify the magnitude and frequency of past and current environmental changes increased the demand for high-resolution proxy data across spatial and temporal scales. Due to their long lifespan and global distribution, trees provide a unique and continuous record of environmental variability. LÄS MER
3. Late Holocene spatiotemporal hydroclimatic variability over Fennoscandia inferred from tree-rings
Sammanfattning : There is a broad scientific consensus that the global climate is changing, and that human activity is a significant factor contributing to the change. The response of the hydrological cycle to the warming is far reaching, including increases in the intensification and frequency of extreme hydroclimatological events. LÄS MER
4. Summer Climate Variability during the Past 1200 Years in Central Scandinavia – A Tree-Ring Perspective
Sammanfattning : To set the current 20th century warming in a long-term context, significant efforts have been made to reconstruct hemispheric-to-global temperatures beyond the instrumental period. Tree-rings, which have annual resolution and can be precisely dated, have been widely used to infer past climate variability. LÄS MER
5. Moisture conditions in rain exposed wood joints - Experimental methods and laboratory measurements
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the moisture conditions in rain exposed wood structures, i.e. wood exposed to high moisture levels. The focus was on the microclimate (the climate at the wood surface) and the material climate (the wood moisture content) in joints. LÄS MER
