Dendroclimatology of teak indicates prevailing climatic conditions of tropical moist forests in India

Among all proxy archives, tree rings are highly promising indicator of ecological and environmental processes due to their high climatic sensitivity, better annual resolution, and large spatial coverage. Seasonal importance of soil moisture dynamics and impact of drought events on tree growth develo...
