Northern China has experienced dramatic drying since the 1960s CE. However, the scarcity of long-term observations hampers the evaluation of recent drought variations from a long-term perspective. Here, we present a tree-ring-width chronology of Chinese pine (Pinus tabuliformis Carr.) from the...

To explore the difference in the response of the radial growth of Pinus tabulaeformis and Picea crassifolia on different timescales to climate factors in the eastern part of Qilian Mountains, we used dendrochronology to select four different timescales (day, pentad (5 days), dekad (10 days), and...

Based on the combination of two dendrochronologies, the annual mean temperature from May to June for the last 160 years was reconstructed in Weichang region, China, with the predictor variables accounting 43.3% of the variance during the calibration period of 1956-2012. Warm periods with...

In order to test whether the relationship between climate and the radial growth of trees is affected by altitude, altitude variability and time stability of climate-influenced radial growth of a dominant conifer, Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis), in the eastern Qilian Mountains were studied...

Carbon and oxygen isotope ratios (δ13C and δ18O) were measured in annual tree-ring cellulose samples dated from 1756 to 2015 CE. These samples were extracted from Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) trees located in a semi-arid region of north-central China. We found that tree-ring δ13C and δ...

Compared with traditional research methods, research based on physiological processes could provide more interactions between the radial growth of trees and climate factors. The Vaganov-Shashkin model (VS-oscilloscope) was applied to simulate tree-ring formation in semi-arid eastern Gansu, China...

Since the 1990s, global warming has substantially affected the dynamic responses of forest ecosystems to drought by altering tree growth and ecosystems carbon cycling. The Loess Plateau is a typical vegetation recovery region with an arid and semiarid climate. However, the responses of the...
