Earlywood Vessel Size of Oak as a Potential Proxy for Spring Precipitation in Mesic Sites

Aim: In this study, we evaluate the importance of the mean earlywood vessel size of oaks as a potential proxy for climate in mesic areas. Location: The study was conducted in Switzerland at three forest sites dominated by oak (Quercus petraea and Q. pubescens). The three sites were in different clim...
