Cellular dendrochronology has increasingly been applied across the globe to investigate the ecophysiological responses of trees to environmental changes. Trees may respond to climatic or other environmental stress by changing the size, frequency and arrangement of vessels, tracheids or other xylem anatomical features. Thus, the anatomical features in a particular tree ring imprint environmental signals and provide the basis for studying the impact of past climatic or other environmental changes on the physiology, ecology, and growth of trees which is a prerequisite to predict how trees will respond to future environmental changes. However, application of cellular dendrochronology in tropical regions to study the eco-physiological responses ...
