Abstract

This Special Issue presents recent advancements in tropical dendrochronology in the tropical and subtropical Americas, focusing on the identification of new species for dendrochronological studies, the assessment of climate information contained in tree-ring records, and systematic reviews of past research. The studies included in this issue significantly contribute to our understanding of tree species suitable for dendrochronology and the improvement of dating techniques. Moreover, they delve into the relationships between climate variables and tree growth, offering insights into the response of tropical forests to environmental change and providing tools for reconstructing past climate conditions. These studies also shed light on the challenges associated with accurately distinguishing annual ring boundaries in tropical species with complex anatomical structures and emphasize the importance of integrating complementary dating methods and visualization techniques to enhance the reliability of dendrochronological studies in the tropics. By synthesizing diverse research findings, this Special Issue offers a comprehensive overview of tropical dendrochronology in the American (sub) tropics, revealing gaps in knowledge, and suggesting potential avenues for future research. Ultimately, these advancements promote a deeper understanding of tropical forests, their role in the global climate system, and the need for their sustainable management and conservation.

热带和亚热带美洲树木年代学研究进展:研究重点和未来方向
本期特刊介绍了热带和亚热带美洲热带树木年代学的最新进展,重点介绍了用于树木年代学研究的新物种的鉴定、树木年轮记录中包含的气候信息的评估以及对过去研究的系统回顾。这一期的研究对我们了解适合树木年代学的树种和改进测年技术有重要的贡献。此外,他们还深入研究了气候变量与树木生长之间的关系,为热带森林对环境变化的反应提供了见解,并为重建过去的气候条件提供了工具。这些研究还揭示了在具有复杂解剖结构的热带物种中准确区分年轮边界所面临的挑战,并强调了整合互补测年方法和可视化技术以提高热带树木年代学研究可靠性的重要性。通过综合各种研究成果,本期特刊全面概述了美洲(亚)热带地区的热带树木年代学,揭示了知识上的差距,并提出了未来研究的潜在途径。最终,这些进展促进了对热带森林、其在全球气候系统中的作用以及对其可持续管理和保护的必要性的更深入了解。
