This proceedings contains seven papers on various aspects of dendrochronological research in Asia, including dendroglaciology, dendroclimatology, dendroecology, dendroarchaeology, dendrogeomorphology and wood anatomy. The first paper presents the data gathered from a pre-conference field trip...

Dendroclimatology and dendroecology have entered mainstream dendrochronology research in subtropical and tropical areas. Our study focused on the use of the chronology series of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.), the most widely distributed tree species in the subtropical wet monsoon climate...

Accurate forest carbon accounting is essential for effective forest management nowadays. Traditionally, estimates of tree radial growth have been obtained through regular forest inventory (F I) data. However, the dendrochronological approach (DA) offers a higher degree of accuracy and temporal...

The evergreen coniferous creeping shrub, Sabina vulgaris, is widely distributed in China, from high and cold mountain sites to low-elevation arid desert areas. This paper performed dendroclimatological analysis of the samples of S. vulgaris from three sampling sites (2700-2900 m a.s.l.) at sites in ...

Tree-ring records from remote upland areas are widely used in climate reconstructions, but they are typically calibrated by meteorological data from low-lying areas. With the aim of assessing relationships between climatic records from mountainous and valley bottoms, this study compared...

The tree ring has been used widely in the study of historical climate reconstruction, growth-climate and treeline dynamics due to its advantages of accurate cross-dating, high resolution and good continuity. Tree-ring formation is not only determined by tree growth but also influenced by different...

Aims: Process-based models are basic tools for predicting the response of forest carbon to future climate change. The models have commonly been tested for their predictions of spatial variation in forest productivity, but much less for their ability to predict temporal variation. Here, we explored...

We selected Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr. in the Liupan Mountains area as a research object, dividing different competition levels of L. principis-rupprechtii Mayr. by using the intersection angle competitive index, established tree-ring width chronology of L. principis-rupprechtii Mayr. by...

The physiological characteristics of trees change with age, suggesting that growth-related climate signals vary over time. This study aimed to clarify the impacts of different diameter classes on the chronological characteristics of Pinus massoniana Lamb. and its response to climatic factors....

In this study, we investigated two types of growth disturbance (GD) in tree-ring sequences, namely, the abrupt growth reduction in annual tree-ring width, and the formation of reaction wood, in tree stems growing on the thick colluvial Xiakou landslide in China. In total, 96 GDs were identified in...
