Tree-ring based drought reconstruction for the central Tien Shan area in northwest China
[1] A robust ring-width chronology developed from two sites of Picea schrenkiana in the central Tien Shan area of northwest China was employed to study regional drought variability. Our analyses demonstrate both temperature and precipitation have significant effects on tree growth, thus both should be considered for climate reconstruction. Regional drought history (1675–2002 A.D.) was therefore...
متن کاملA Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index Reconstruction in the Taihe Mountains Using Tree-Ring Widths for the Last 283 Years
Tree-ring samples from Chinese Pine (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) that were collected in the Taihe Mountains on the western Loess Plateau, China, were used to analyze the effects of climate and drought on radial growth and to reconstruct the mean April-June Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) during the period 1730-2012 AD. Precipitation positively affected tree growth prim...
متن کاملMillennium tree‐ring reconstruction of drought variability in the eastern Qilian Mountains, northwest China
Global mean surface temperatures have risen by 0.85 ± 0.20 °C, over the period 1880–2012, and projections of future climate change suggest further global warming (IPCC 2013). Warming of the global climate is expected to be accompanied by increase of global precipitation, as warmer air is able to hold more water vapour (Wentz et al. 2007). However, precipitation changes are expected to differ fr...
متن کامل1300 years of climatic history for Western Central Asia inferred from tree-rings
More than 200 000 ring-width measurements from 384 trees were obtained for 20 individual sites ranging from the lower to upper local timber-lines in the Northwest Karakorum of Pakistan and the Southern Tien Shan of Kirghizia. Samples were obtained predominantly from juniper species (Juniperus) and were analysed to reconstruct regional climatic variation patterns in Western Central Asia since ad...
