Abstract

Abstract Pinus edulis is one of the most ubiquitous tree species in the US Southwest. It accounts for over a fifth of the total number of trees in New Mexico alone. Its prevalence and relatively long-lived nature makes it an ideal candidate for dendroclimatological studies of the North American Monsoon. The problem occurs with delineating the boundary of the earlywood and latewood for sub-annual reconstructions. In this study, we present a novel method (“the resin duct method”) for delineating the latewood boundary using resin ducts of P. edulis from three sites in New Mexico. The climate sensitivity of partial ring widths of P. edulis is then explored and compared to co-occurring Pinus ponderosa, which has a clear latewood boundary. The method of using resin ducts for delineating latewood in P. edulis resulted in a statistically significant relationship when compared to the latewood widths of co-occurring P. ponderosa. Although we found a similar climate response of P. edulis when compared to P. ponderosa, P. edulis latewood was a poor predictor of North American Monsoon precipitation unlike P. ponderosa. However, P. edulis earlywood has a statistically significant correlation with cool-season precipitation, making it useful for cool-season climate reconstructions in the Southwest.

一种用于季节性气候重建的Edulis松亚年轮宽度测量方法

摘要：红松是美国西南部最常见的树种之一。仅在新墨西哥州，它就占树木总数的五分之一以上。它的普遍性和相对长寿的性质使它成为北美季风树木气候学研究的理想候选者。这个问题发生在为亚年度重建划定早期木材和晚期木材的边界时。在这项研究中，我们提出了一种新的方法（“树脂导管法”），使用新墨西哥州三个地点的P.edulis树脂导管来划定晚材边界。然后探讨了P.edulis部分环宽的气候敏感性，并与具有明确晚材边界的共生黄松进行了比较。使用树脂导管描绘P.edulis晚材的方法与同时存在的黄杨晚材宽度相比，产生了统计学上显著的关系。尽管我们发现，与黄颡鱼相比，蓝颡鱼的气候反应相似，但与黄颡鱼不同，晚材蓝颡鱼对北美季风降水的预测能力较差。然而，P.edulis早材与冷季降水具有统计学上显著的相关性，这使得它对西南部的冷季气候重建非常有用。

期刊介绍： Tree-Ring Research (TRR) is devoted to papers dealing with the growth rings of trees and the applications of tree-ring research in a wide variety of fields, including but not limited to archaeology, geology, ecology, hydrology, climatology, forestry, and botany. Papers involving research results, new techniques of data acquisition or analysis, and regional or subject-oriented reviews or syntheses are considered for publication. Scientific papers usually fall into two main categories. Articles should not exceed 5000 words, or approximately 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, including tables, references, and an abstract of 200 words or fewer. All manuscripts submitted as Articles are reviewed by at least two referees. Research Reports, which are usually reviewed by at least one outside referee, should not exceed 1500 words or include more than two figures. Research Reports address technical developments, describe well-documented but preliminary research results, or present findings for which the Article format is not appropriate. Book or monograph Reviews of 500 words or less are also considered. Other categories of papers are occasionally published. All papers are published only in English. Abstracts of the Articles or Reports may be printed in other languages if supplied by the author(s) with English translations.
