Intra-annual density fluctuations in tree rings are proxies of air temperature across Europe 2023 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Intra-Annual Density Fluctuations (IADFs) are an important wood functional trait that determine trees’ ability to adapt to climatic changes. Here, we use a large tree-ring database of 11 species from 89 sites across eight European countries, covering a climatic gradient from the Mediterranean to northern Europe, to analyze how climate variations drive IADF formation. We found that IADF occurrence increases nonlinearly with ring width in both gymnosperms and angiosperms and decreases with altitude and age. Recently recorded higher mean annual temperatures facilitate the formation of IADFs in almost all the studied species. Precipitation plays a significant role in inducing IADFs in species that exhibit drought tolerance capability, and a growth pattern known as bimodal growth. Our findings suggest that species with bimodal growth patterns growing in western and southern Europe will form IADFs more frequently, as an adaptation to increasing temperatures and droughts. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/COST/STREeSS-FP1106 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CGL2012-31668 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CGL2015-69985-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.8 2023 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 25 / 134 = 0.187 2023 Q1 T1 0.9 2023 Multidisciplinary 2023 Q1 7.5 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Kabala, J.
