Insights into plant adjustments to changing environmental conditions have mainly been obtained through structural and functional comparative studies between taxa or within taxa on contrasting sites or along environmental gradients. Yet, a gap exists regarding the study of hydraulic adjustments in response to environmental changes over the lifetimes of plants. In trees, dated tree-ring series are often exploited to reconstruct dynamics in ecological conditions, and recent work in which wood-anatomical variables have been used in dendrochronology has produced promising results. Environmental signals identified in water-conducting cells carry novel information reflecting changes in regional conditions and are mostly related to short, sub-annual intervals. Although the idea of investigating environmental signals through wood anatomical time series goes back to the 1960s, it is only recently that low-cost computerized image-analysis systems have enabled increased scientific output in this field. We believe that the study of tree-ring anatomy is emerging as a promising approach in tree biology and climate change research, particularly if complemented by physiological and ecological studies. This contribution presents the rationale, the potential, and the methodological challenges of this innovative approach.}, language = {en} } @article{BerndtKrueger1985, author = {Berndt, Heinz and Kr{\"u}ger, G{\"o}tz}, title = {Resolution of enantiomeric amino acid derivatives by high-performance liquid chromatography on chiral stationary phases}, series = {Journal of chromatography A}, volume = {1985}, journal = {Journal of chromatography A}, number = {348}, issn = {0021-9673}, doi = {10.1016/S0021-9673(01)92461-6}, pages = {275 -- 279}, year = {1985}, language = {en} } @article{KoellenspergerBragardPlumetal.2009, author = {K{\"o}llensperger, P. and Bragard, Michael and Plum, T. and De Doncker, R.

Besides drought, infection with pine mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. austriacum) seems to play an important role in the mortality dynamics of Scots pines, but how mistletoes promote pine decline remains unclear. To verify whether pine mistletoe infection weakens the host via crown degradation, as observed for dwarf mistletoes, we studied the negative effects of pine mistletoe infestation on the photosynthetic tissues and branch growth of pairs of infested and non-infested branches. Pine mistletoe infection leads to crown degradation in its host by reducing the length, the radial increment, the ramification, the needle length and the number of needle years of the infested branches. This massive loss in photosynthetic tissue results in a reduction in primary production and a subsequent decrease in carbohydrate availability. The significant reduction in needle length due to mistletoe infection is an indication for a lower water and nutrient availability in infested branches. Thus, mistletoe infection might lead to a decrease in the availability of water and carbohydrates, the two most important growth factors, which are already shortened due to the chronic drought situation in the area. Therefore, pine mistletoe increases the risk of drought-induced mortality of its host when growing in a xeric environment.}, language = {en} } @article{EilmannWeberRiglingetal.2006, author = {Eilmann, Britta and Weber, Pascale and Rigling, Andreas and Eckstein, Dieter}, title = {Growth reactions of Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus pubescens Willd. to drought years at a xeric site in Valais, Switzerland}, series = {Dendrochronologia}, volume = {23}, journal = {Dendrochronologia}, number = {3}, issn = {1612-0051 (Online)}, doi = {doi:10.1016/j.dendro.2005.10.002}, pages = {121 -- 132}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{KuropkaMuellerHoeckeretal.1989, author = {Kuropka, Rolf and M{\"u}ller, Bettina and H{\"o}cker, Hartwig and Berndt, Heinz}, title = {Chiral stationary phases via hydrosilylation reaction of N-acryloylamino acids : I.
