Arctic tree rings as recorders of variations in light availability
Annual growth ring variations in Arctic trees are often used to reconstruct surface temperature. In general, however, the growth of Arctic vegetation is limited both by temperature and light availability, suggesting that variations in atmospheric transmissivity may also influence tree-ring characteristics. Here we show that Arctic tree-ring density is sensitive to changes in light availability ...
متن کاملPotential for assessing long-term dynamics in soil nitrogen availability from variations in delta15N of tree rings.
Numerous researchers have used the isotopic signatures of C, H, and O in tree rings to provide a long-term record of changes in the physiological status, climate, or water-source use of trees. The frequently limiting element N is also found in tree rings, and variation in its isotopic signature may provide insight into long-term changes in soil N availability of a site. However, research has su...
متن کاملMillennium-long summer temperature variations in the European Alps as reconstructed from tree rings
This paper presents a reconstruction of the summer temperatures over the Greater Alpine Region (44.05– 47.41 N, 6.43–13 E) during the last millennium based on a network of 38 multi-centennial larch and stone pine chronologies. Tree ring series are standardized using an Adaptative Regional Growth Curve, which attempts to remove the age effect from the low frequency variations in the series. The ...
متن کاملreconstruction of maximum temperature variations in kermanshah province using tree rings
introduction iran is located in a semi arid region of the world. in recent years, dramatic changes in the form of increasing in maximum temperature and severe droughts have damaged water resources, local forests and agriculture. in the mid- and high latitudes of the northern hemisphere the warmest years have been recorded in recent decades (ipcc, 2007). in order to fully understand the climatic...
متن کاملEffects of light availability and tree size on the architectur
dry weight per area (LWA) and needle density (ND, needle weight per volume) were measured in terminal current-year shoots in a natural canopy of variably sized Picea abies (L.) Karst. trees growing along a light gradient. Needle shape was described as a rhomboid. Needle width (D2) increased with increasing diffuse site factor, ad (relative amount of penetrating diffuse solar radiation), whereas...
