Accelerated #GlobalWarming in the late 20th century led to frequent forest-decline events in the #NorthernHemisphere and increased the complexity of the relationships between #TreeGrowth and #Climate factors. Jie Liu et al. found that #AcceleratedWarming promoted tree radial growth at the same time in the Northern Hemisphere by analyzing temperature-sensitive #Tree-ring width chronologies.

Last week, MW3 project participants met at LCRS in Marburg. They visited the new #sapflow #sensorboxes in the Marburg Open Forest & discussed first results of the monitoring system analyzing #treegrowth responses to #climateextremes. More info: https://mw3-project.com/ #MOF
