While dendroclimatic studies have extended the knowledge of drought variations in Tien Shan, these have been almost exclusively based on tree-ring data from Tien Shan in China. We present a drought reconstruction for Almaty based on a tree-ring width chronology developed from sites of the Schrenk...

Cores of Schrenk spruce from seven sites of eastern Tien Shan were used to develop a regional tree-ring chronology to extend the climate record. We developed an August-July Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) reconstruction that spans AD 1725-2013 based on the regional...

Clear trends of warming and wetting have occurred in Central Asia during the last 30 years, but how tree growth in low-elevation mountainous areas has responded to climate warming remains unclear. In this paper, we investigated the relationships between Zeravschan juniper (Juniperus seravschanica)...

Coniferous forests cover the mountains in many parts of Central Asia and provide large potentials for dendroclimatic studies of past climate variability. However, to date, only a few tree-ring based climate reconstructions exist from this region. Here, we present a regional tree-ring chronology...

In this study, 85 tree cores from 45 Schrenk spruces (Picea schrenkiana) were used to establish a regional tree-ring chronology. A 256-year pJune-May precipitation (where p denotes a month from the previous year) for northern Kyrgyzstan in central Asia was reconstructed using this newly developed...

Climate change has played a crucial role in the subrogation of Chinese dynasties. In particular, the Ming-Qing transition coincided with the rapid decrease in precipitation and the sharp deterioration of agroecological conditions in northern China under the cold conditions brought on by the Little...

Hydroclimatic conditions and related water resources change in the Tibetan Plateau is one of the main concerns for future sustainable development in China. This study presents a 254-year precipitation reconstruction from August of the previous year to June of the current year for the northeastern...

Climate change has influenced the glaciers and water resources in the Hindukush-Karakorum-Himalaya region. The relatively short instrumental record of northern Pakistan makes long-term climate change assessments difficult. In this paper, tree-ring width chronologies were developed from two stands...

Based on the significant positive correlations between the regional tree-ring width chronology and local climate data, the total precipitation of the previous July to the current June was reconstructed since AD 1760 for the northwestern Chinese Altay. The reconstruction model accounts for 40.7% of...

We developed three tree-ring width chronologies of Dragon Spruce (Picea likiangensis var. balfouriana) from Qamdo region in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. It was found that the autumn-winter mean minimum temperature was the principal factor that limited the radial growth of Dragon Spruce. In...
