Along with directly measured climate data from the present and recent past, it is important to obtain estimates of long past climate variations spanning multiple centuries and millennia.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDendroclimatic Studies at the North American Tree Line\u003c\/i\u003epresents an overview of the current state of dendroclimatology, its contributions over the past few decades, and its future potential. The material included is not useful not only to those who generate tree-ring records of past climate-dendroclimatologists, but also to users of their results-climatologists, hydrologists, ecologists and archeologists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn summary, this book:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSheds light on recent and future climate trends by assessing long term past climatic variations from tree rings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs a timely coverage of a crucial topic in climate sci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I enjoyed the short format, and would support the production of further AGU OPUS themed syntheses, but would respectfully suggest that the programme reviews the format to permit a wider scope for general themes and greater detail for more specialist topics.”  (\u003ci\u003eThe Holocene\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 February 2015)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface  v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments  vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
