Filling the Eastern European gap in millennium-long temperature reconstructions.
Tree ring-based temperature reconstructions form the scientific backbone of the current global change debate. Although some European records extend into medieval times, high-resolution, long-term, regional-scale paleoclimatic evidence is missing for the eastern part of the continent. Here we compile 545 samples of living trees and historical timbers from the greater Tatra region to reconstruct ...
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 کامل1200 years of regular outbreaks in alpine insects.
The long-term history of Zeiraphera diniana Gn. (the larch budmoth, LBM) outbreaks was reconstructed from tree rings of host subalpine larch in the European Alps. This record was derived from 47513 maximum latewood density measurements, and highlights the impact of contemporary climate change on ecological disturbance regimes. With over 1000 generations represented, this is the longest annually...
متن کاملLast-millennium summer-temperature variations in western Europe based on proxy data
We present a method of multiproxy reconstruction of the climate of Europe during the last millennium. The proxies used comprise long tree-ring width series, grape harvest dates, Greenland ice oxygen isotope series and temperature indices based on historical documents. The proxies are calibrated using gridded April to September mean temperatures for western Europe, i.e., between 108W and 208E an...
متن کاملClimate of the past millennium inferred from varved proglacial lake sediments on northeast Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
This study uses Pu-dated varved sediments from Big Round Lake, a proglacial lake on northeast Baffin Island, Arctic Canada to generate a 1000-year-long, annual-resolution record of past climate. Varve thickness is positively correlated with July–August–September temperature measured at Clyde River, 70 km to the north of the lake (r = 0.46, p \ 0.001). We therefore interpret the variability and ...
