Growth patterns differed among species, with <em>Alnus glutinosa</em> showing a stable tendency, while both <em>Fraxinus</em> species exhibited greater variability. Temperature was the most limiting factor for the three species, but climate-growth relationship was species-specific. The increase in the average annual temperature favoured <em>Alnus glutinosa</em> and <em>F. angustifolia</em> but limited <em>F. excelsior</em> growth, revealing the vulnerability to rising temperatures of <em>F. excelsior</em> rear-edge populations in the warmest margins of the species climatic niche. Additionally, rising summer temperatures reduced the growth of <em>Alnus glutinosa</em> and <em>Fraxinus angustifolia</em> in the sub-Mediterranean zone. The dam altered the river’s hydrology, changing a unimodal annual flow pattern to a bimodal one with higher summer water discharge. This shift favoured the annual growth of dam-affected <em>Alnus glutinosa</em> and <em>Fraxinus angustifolia</em> trees. However, the resilience and resistance of the latter to cope with dry years significantly decreased after the dam’s construction compared with the control sections.

Additionally, cell chronologies of specific anatomical parameters, viz., cell diameter, lumen diameter, and cell wall thickness were also built from 1947–2023 for the Gwittaegicheongbong site. Correlation analysis revealed that the ring-width growth of <em>T. koraiensis</em> is primarily influenced negatively by temperatures in May and June, and positively by precipitation. Although similar results were found in the correlation analysis between the cell chronologies of cell and lumen diameters and monthly climate at Gwittaegicheongbong, the correlation with May and June temperatures were higher (<em>r</em> = -0.27 to −0.35) than ones of ring-width chronologies (<em>r</em> = -0.18 to −0.28). Future ring-width growth predictions using ARIMAX models under SSP scenarios revealed site- and parameter-specific differences. At Hwangcheolbong, ring width was predicted to decline by 13.9 % under SSP2–4.5 and by 39.0 % under SSP5–8.5 by 2100, with most of the reduction occurring after 2050 (-29.4 %).

As a result, timber also from the territory of present-day Belarus appears in many European timber collections as “Baltic oak” and “Riga pines”. To trace this historic trade route and to further dating of undated wooden structures, we developed a new 831-year Scots pine (<em>Pinus sylvestris</em> L.) tree-ring chronology (BY03b) using samples from living trees, historic, and archaeological timber from northern Belarus. These include samples from Polatsk and Vitsebsk archaeological excavations, historical buildings in Polatsk, and samples from Riga’s Dannenstern House which was built from the timber imported from the middle part of Dzvina basin. The BY03b chronology aligns well with modern tree-ring datasets from eastern Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and western Belarus, though these links weaken near the coast of the Baltic Sea. Our evidence suggests the pine timber trade between the upper and lower Dzvina / Daugava basin began in the 14th century and peaked in the 16th–17th centuries. As a result, many historical sites in Riga consist of timber from Belarus. In addition, timber from northern Belarus was used to build Danson House and Lytham Hall in the United Kingdom in the 18th century, located 2000 kilometers from the region of timber origins, confirming the very long-distance export of Belarusian timber throughout Europe. Thus, this new Belarusian multi-century pine chronology provides an exclusive basis for tracing precisely in time the trade connections of pine timber exported from the Dzvina / Daugava (and possibly Dnieper) basin to Western Europe via Riga in 14th – 19th centuries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50595,"journal":{"name":"Dendrochronologia","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 126421"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145220747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to identify the climate information embedded in different tree-ring parameters measured from white spruce samples and examine whether the relationship between tree-ring parameters and climate is impacted by altitude, image resolution, and BI data collection method. By measuring ring width (RW), earlywood blue intensity (EWBI), latewood blue intensity (LWBI), and delta blue intensity (DBI) at higher (1065 m a.s.l.) and lower (965 m a.s.l.) sites in southern Yukon, we found that LWBI and DBI show a significantly stronger climate signal over RW, especially at high frequencies, aligning with previous climate studies. The upper site performed better than the lower site, agreeing with the expectation that the climate response will increase for sites closer to tree-line.

Despite a shortened growing season at higher elevations, NSC concentrations in most organs exhibited similar seasonal patterns across sites. NSC levels in needles, branches, and roots reached their lowest during peak cell enlargement in mid-June, indicating high sink demand, while xylem NSC peaked early and declined steadily thereafter.
