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 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...

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...

To understand the influence of window width on the relationship between tree radial growth and climatic factors, we took the Shennongjia-established tree species Abies fargesii as a research object. Samples(50 cores from 24 trees) were cored at breast height(1.3 m) using increment core, and the...

Aims: We aim to compare the climatic representativeness of blue intensity (BI) and ring width index (RWI) in Picea jezoensis, and to provide guidance for the further application of BI parameters in dendrochronology. Methods: A total of 120 tree-ring cores were extracted from P. jezoensis trees in...

Douglas fir(Pseudotsuga sinensis), as a kind of the national class II endangered tree species, has been attracting comparatively less attention on its dendroclimatology so far instead. A standard tree-ring width chronology was established based on the tree-ring sample cores collected from Zhenping...

Objective: The Qinling Mountains is the most typical distribution area for Larix chinensis-dominant temperate coniferous forests in China, and also one of the most significantly vulnerable areas affected by climate change worldwide. In this study, we aim to understand the sensitivity of L....

Objective: Exploring the stand productivity in the forests with different densities and its response to climate change is helpful for the functional assessment and adaptive management of forest ecosystems. Method: In this study, the net primary productivity (NPP) of natural Mongolian pine (Pinus...

This study tried to determine the radial growth of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica under the background of global climate change. We established the standard chronologies of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica by using the method of dendrochronology and determined the main climate factors affecting the ...

Objective: This paper researched the influence mechanism of climate factors on radial growth of Pinus tabulaeformis to provide basis for building P. tabulaeformis artificial forest with high stability and sustainability in semi-arid loess area. Method: Two average trees were chosen from each...
