Coincidences of climate extremes and anomalous vegetation responses: comparing tree ring patterns to simulated productivity

Climate extremes can trigger exceptional responses in terrestrial ecosystems, for instance by altering growth or mortality rates.Such effects are often manifested in reductions in net primary productivity (NPP).Investigating a Europe-wide network of annual radial tree growth records confirms this pattern: we find that 28% of tree ring width (TRW) i

A time-series method for automated measurement of changes in mitotic and interphase duration from time-lapse movies.

Automated time-lapse microscopy can visualize proliferation of large numbers of individual cells, enabling accurate measurement of the frequency of cell division and the duration of interphase and mitosis.However, extraction of quantitative information by manual inspection of time-lapse movies is too time-consuming to be Shoulder Bag useful for ana
