Tree Rings to Understand Climate Extremes and Ecosystem Changes: An Interview with Prof. Zhihong Xu, Griffith University Australia
21:13
Tree rings serve as a natural archive for studying past climate conditions. By analyzing the tree rings, researchers can date the year the tree was growing and reconstruct past droughts, floods, and wildfires. Nitrogen is a critical element for forest ecosystems and its availability affects forest health and productivity. Climate extremes like drou…
