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 ...

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...

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.

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,...

In this study we discussed how to use new indicator - blue intensity (BI) in dendroecological work. The advantages of optical density (BI) in comparison with other characteristics of the structure of annual rings are discussed. BI parameter was calculated for tree-rings of the Siberian larch in...

Siberian Arctic wetlands located within the planetary "warming hotspot" experience pronounced climate-driven vegetation cover changes. Together with warming, wetlands, which are located within the influence of Norilsk copper and nickel industry (69.35° N, 88.12° E), have been strongly influenced by ...

The wide intermountain Khakass-Minusinsk Depression (KhMD) in southern Siberia presents an ideal setting for studying the potential impacts of a warming climate on forest ecosystems. The Centre of Continental Asia has one of the most intense rates of warming in the Northern Hemisphere, and the KhMD ...

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...

We hypothesize that in mountain windy habitat trees formed clusters (hedges) as adaptive structures for seedlings' rooting, survival, and tress' upslope migration. We studied hedges formed by Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica du Tour) and larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) within the treeline ecotone in...

Dendroclimatology has focused mainly on the tree growth response to atmospheric variables. However, the roots of trees directly sense the "underground climate," which can be expected to be no less important to tree growth. Data from two meteorological stations approximately 140 km apart in southern ...
