We have reviewed 43 studies related to dendroclimatology in Kazakhstan, and additionally 13 studies related to other subfields of dendrochronology, which have been published during the past 40 years. This review also includes studies published in Russian, Kazakh, German and Chinese languages, which ...

Though the extraction of increment cores is common practice in tree-ring research, there is no standard for the number of samples per tree, or trees per site needed to accurately describe the common growth pattern of a discrete population of trees over space and time. Tree-ring chronologies...

Tree growth trends can affect the interpretation of the response of tree-ring proxies (especially tree-ring width) to climate in the low-frequency band, which in turn may limit quantitative understanding of centennial-scale climate variability. As such, it is difficult to determine if long-term...

Wildfires are one of the most important environmental factors controlling forest ecosystem physiology and the carbon balance in the permafrost zone of North Siberia. We investigated tree-ring width (TRW) and stable isotope chronologies in tree-ring cellulose (δ¹³C_Cell, δ¹⁸O_Cell) of Larix Gmelinii...

The influence of the temperature regime of the soil of the Verkhnecharskaya depression on the radial growth of larch is described, the soil temperature in the pre-instrumental period was reconstructed using the methods of dendrochronology.

In the Southern French Alps, the Cervières Valley (near Briançon city) has traditional houses in which wood plays an important role, both in the buildings' structures and in the activities of the humans who lived there. The six studied farms bear witness to an architecture perfectly adapted to the...

This paper presents a dendroclimatic analysis of Siberian larch trees sampled along a latitudinal 260-km transect located in the Polar Urals, Russia. Three standardised chronologies were built over a length of 230-293 years using 79 individual tree-ring chronologies collected in the southern,...

Using dendroclimatological techniques this study investigates whether inner city tree-ring width (TRW) chronologies from eight tree species (ash, beech, fir, larch, lime, sessile and pedunculate oak, and pine) are suitable to examine the urban heat island of Berlin, Germany. Climate-growth...

One of the possible consequences of climate change is a change in the demographic dynamics of phyllophagous insects. For a retrospective analysis of this dynamics, tree rings are used, especially in regions with limited documentary data. Due to the complex nature of the factors determining tree...

The CO₂ content in tree wood and the radial increment of trees can change under the impact of ground fires. The larch discs under study survived the fire of 1908 after the explosion of the space body in the Podkamennaya Tunguska revealed a number of features in the behavior of absorbed CO₂ and (CO₂ ...
