The growth response of earlywood and latewood to precipitation in chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) was studied by examining a series of core samples from the Garhwal Himalaya, India. Earlywood and latewood were observed to contribute about equal proportions towards the total ring width. Comparison of...

The spatial and temporal span of hydrological impact of the "Little Ice Age" (LIA) in the north-western Himalaya is not well constrained due to data limitation. We evaluated a network of tree-ring chronologies from moisture-stressed ecological settings in Jammu and Kashmir to identify the impact of ...

A regional, 175 year long, tree-ring width chronology (spanning 1840-2014 C.E.) was developed for Pinus wallichiana A. B. Jacks. (Himalayan Blue pine) from the Lidder Valley, Kashmir, Northwest Himalaya. Simple and seasonal correlation analysis (SEASCORR) with monthly climate records demonstrates a ...

To investigate the tree establishment and climatic signal present in tree-ring series, 104 increment core samples from 73 trees of Himalayan pencil cedar (Juniperus polycarpos) were collected. Ring-width sequences of trees are influenced by climatic factors as well as internal/external factors such ...
