Where did we get the data? Where can you find them?
150 scientists contributed 1000s tree-ring data through Tropical Tree-Ring Network. This network unites tree-ring scientists & data. To fill tropical data gap all data are uploaded to International Tree-ring Databank.
tropicaltreeringnetwork.org
How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org
Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions.
