Tree-ring widths are good proxies of annual variation in forest productivity in temperate forests
Abstract Tree rings have long been used to calibrate the net primary production (NPP) time-series predicted by process-based models, based on an implicit assumption that ring-width indices (RWI) can well reflect temporal NPP change. However, this assumption has seldom been tested systematically. In...
