Wood Cellular Dendroclimatology: Testing New Proxies in Great Basin Bristlecone Pine

Abstract: Dendroclimatic proxies can be generated from the analysis of wood cellular structures, allowing for a more complete understanding of the physiological mechanisms that control the climatic response of tree species. Century-long (1870–2013) time series of anatomical parameters were developed for Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva D.K. Bailey) by capturing strongly contrasted microscopic images through a Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope. Environmental information embedded in wood anatomical series was… Show more

“…Addition of a cell growth module could produce cell anatomical simulations that could be compared to emerging observations (c.f. Fonti et al, 2010;Cuny et al, 2015;von Arx et al, 2016;Ziaco et al, 2016;Popkova et al, 2018). Finally, the model may also be ported to other open source languages, as has been done for the monthly resolution 'lite' version of the Vaganov-Shashkin model (VSL;Tolwinski-Ward et al, 2011 Vaganov et al (2011).…”

“…Micro-wood anatomy research has expanded tree-ring studies into new geographical areas (see the ‘Nontraditional species’ section) to elucidate growth patterns and chronologies from tropical species from which conventional tree-ring data cannot be derived (Venegas-González et al, 2015). Furthermore, wood anatomical features allow us to distinguish independent climate signals at various geographic locations to characterize sensitivity gradients and how future shifts in climate may heterogeneously effect forest populations across the world (Castagneri et al, 2015; Ziaco et al, 2016). Our growing understanding of the physiological mechanisms of xylem vulnerability and the impacts of water stress enable us to improve models of drought, tree mortality, and carbon cycling (Adams et al, 2017; Anderegg et al, 2015; Levanič et al, 2011; Figure 6).…”

“…Likewise, while we focused on dendrophenotypes derived from tree-ring width, wood cores harbour many additional time-series traits that should be explored in future studies. These include anatomical features such as cell wall thickness or lumen area which are considered as proxy for physiological adaptations to external factors (Carrer, Brunetti, & Castagneri, 2016;Ziaco, Biondi, & Heinrich, 2016) as well as isotope measures, which, for example, can be used to characterize the water use efficiency of a tree (Seibt, Rajabi, Griffiths, & Berry, 2008). Microdensitometry can supplement ring width data with information of wood density and thereby provide a more complete picture of growth, for example, during extreme events (e.g., Martinez-Meier, Sanchez, Pastorino, Gallo, & Rozenberg, 2008).…”
