Radiocarbon dating opens up new frontiers in the study of tree longevity
Long-lived trees support biodiversity at multiple scales, maintain ecosystem functionality, serve as natural archives, and hold cultural and aesthetic value. Despite their importance, the maximum longevity of many tree species remains poorly understood, limiting the design of effective conservation strategies. Challenges in obtaining reliable tree ages are commonly represented by natural wood decay, sampling obstacles, and indistinct or absent an…
Radiocarbon dating of a monumental dragon tree ( Dracaena draco (L.) L.)
Some arboreal monocotyledons, such as the dragon trees ( Dracaena sp.), can develop impressive trunks (>5 m perimeter) through a lateral meristem, but their ages are difficult to determine. We report here a series of calibrated radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates obtained from a stem section of Dracaena draco (L.) L. subsp. draco growing on the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. This radial section, about 40 cm long, was cut on October 18, 2023, fr…
Are we zoning out? Biases in the assessment of protected area zoning and a blueprint for a way forward
Reconstruction of climatic and socio-economic impacts on the landscape of northern Tuscany (Italy) over the last 2000 years based on palaeoecological and historical evidence
The environmental dimension of ecotourism in Italian protected areas
Ecotourism is increasing in protected areas but assessing its sustainability and contribution to nature conservation remains a challenging task. Guides, located at the interface between various stakeholders (park managers, local communities and tourists), can provide insight into the environmental dimension of ecotourism. However, people may perceive the value of natural ecosystems differently, according to the bio-geographical regions in which t…
A Multidisciplinary Study of Wild Grapevines in the River Crati Natural Reserve, South Italy (Calabria)
Nowadays, wild grapevine populations are quite limited and sporadic mainly due to habitat destruction, land-use change, and the spread of pathogens that have reduced their distribution range. Palaeoecological, archaeobotanical, and genetic studies indicate that modern cultivars of Vitis vinifera are the results of the domestication of the dioecious, and sometimes hermaphrodite, wild species standing in riparian zones and wet environments. Wild gr…

Characterizing historical transformation trajectories of the forest landscape in Rome's metropolitan area (Italy) for effective planning of sustainability goals
With the aim at developing a landscape dynamics framework for environmental planning and management and testing the effectiveness of protected areas in achieving the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations sustainability goals, we characterized the historical transformation trajectories of forest area changes from 1936 to 2010 in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital (Italy). Remote sensing‐based products coupled with landscape pattern metrics and frag…

Identifying the 993–994 CE Miyake Event in the Oldest Dated Living Tree in Europe
Combined dendrochronology and accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS 14 C) dating analyses were used in order to date an old living tree named Italus , growing in the Pollino massif in Southern Italy. Wiggle match AMS 14 C dating analysis was performed on a 320-yr-long floating chronology obtained by cross-dating four wood cores extracted from the exposed roots of the tree. Following this approach, an age for the tree of ≈1230 yr was esti…
Tree growth patterns associated with extreme longevity
Land Use and the Human Impact on the Environment in Medieval Italy
Modern narratives about changes in the Italian landscape during the early Middle Ages have often been based on assumptions about changing demography; the loss and replacement of complex Roman economic, political and agricultural systems; and broader changes in climate. Using fossil pollen taken from lake cores in the Rieti basin to reconstruct local ecological conditions, close examinations of two discreet periods offer new insights into the chan…
Human and climatically induced environmental change in the Mediterranean during the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age
Radiocarbon Analysis Confirms the Annual Nature of Sagebrush Growth Rings
In the Great Basin of North America, big sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) growth rings can be used to reconstruct environmental changes with annual resolution in areas where there is otherwise little such information available. We tested the annual nature of big sagebrush wood layers using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating. Four cross-sections from 3 sagebrush plants were collected near Ely, Nevada, USA, and analyzed u…
