Study is an examination of the role of tree planting in urban development on the Great Plains and in the making of place in the grassland biome. A. uses Norman, Oklahoma as a case study of a treeless frontier outpost in 1889 that was transformed
This paper presents evidence that an earthquake made such trees scarce at estuaries of westernmost Washington. Remains of dead trees and ring counts in living trees show that an A.D. 1700 earthquake reset an ecological clock by changing forests
into tidal flats. Postearthquake tides, and perhaps uplift as well, then created land on which new trees became established. Such renewal, seen also in Alaska after an earthquake in 1964, probably explains why Washington's tidal forests now contain few
Comparison of tree species sensitivity to high and low extreme hydroclimatic events
The AA. present a six-species comparison of tree-ring growth response to extremes (below the 30th and above the 70th percentile) in temperature, precipitation, and corresponding streamflow. Sensitivity was determined using contingency scores
obtained by comparing tree-ring growth at different lags with hydroclimatic observations from the Upper Colorado River Basin in the southwestern United States. The scoring method proposed in this study for the analysis of tree-ring records proved
Tree-ring dating of extreme lake levels at the Subarctic-Boreal interface
The dates of extreme water levels of 2 large lakes in northern Quebec have been recorded over the last century by ice scars on shoreline trees and sequences of reaction wood in shore trees tilted by wave erosion. According to the modern record
Galicia's forestry holds a special position within Spain due to the relatively great cover of woodlands and an increasing concentration on fast-growing tree species, i.e. eucalyptus trees. Its earning capacity is rather low because of a lack
