Check out our new article, hot off the press! We investigated how climate change affects tree growth in boreal forests and show that the response is likely mediated by local climate conditions and species-specific traits.

Enjoy the read!

Unpacking climate effects on boreal tree growth: an analysis of tree-ring widths across temperature and soil moisture gradients
Abstract. The effect of climate change on tree growth in boreal forests is likely mediated by local climate conditions and species-specific responses that vary according to differences in traits. Here...

This week Johannes, our dendrometer & -chronology expert, and Martin, who used #dendrometer measurements from @hyltemossa.bsky.social in his BSc thesis, attended the Nordic #DendroNet meeting at @uninmbu.bsky.social organized by @daniellecreek.bsky.social
& visited the @icos-ri.eu station #Hurdal

New publication on how we can use carbon and oxygen isotopes from peatland pines to study hydroclimatic changes. The study is a great collaboration between the projects TURBERAS (University of Geneva) and MOSS (Lund University). Enjoy! 🌳💍🔬 cp.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
Peatland trees record strong and temporally stable hydroclimate information in tree-ring δ13C and δ18O
Abstract. Peatland trees are valuable archives of paleoclimatic information; however, gaps persist in understanding the relationships between tree growth, peatland hydrology, and hydroclimate variable...

The Laboratory for Wood Anatomy and Dendrochronology, Lund university, received new samples from the underwater investigations at Bulverket on Gotland, carried out by Peter d’Agnan & his team. Analyses are now underway, and we’re hoping for new insights into this remarkable site.

Time to start the journey home from Umeå after an intense week in which I held a workshop, moderated, presented posters, had lots of meetings and listened to numerous presentations about new research projects. #TRACE2025 #Dendrochronology

More teaching in the field, today about peatland development and how their hydrology affects tree establishment and growth. 🌳☀️💦

Field teaching on treeline movements, slope processes, dendrochronology and climate change! 🌳

Good working day visiting two peat bogs for data download from dendrometer, water sampling, and nice weather! 🌳💍🔬☀️💦

Dating burnt archaeological wood pieces is a challenge. I managed to piece together a coherent series of tree rings spanning 77 years, let's see if that's enough for a dating. 🌳💍🔬

Another day on the peat bog to maintain and read dendrometers to see how the trees react to rewetting. 🌳💍🔬

Battery replacement and maintenance of my dendrometers at Store Mosse! Some problems, but the weather was nice. 🌳💍☀️
