However, studies on the growth synchrony of <em>Picea crassifolia</em> across elevation remain largely unclear in the Qilian Mountains. The tree cores of 592 <em>P. crassifolia</em> were collected from nine forest sites in the eastern Qilian Mountains to investigate the tree growth synchrony and its climatic drivers. The growth synchrony of <em>P. crassifolia</em> was the highest at 3100–3200 m during 1975–2005 but showed a significant decline with time. Although it was lower, the growth synchrony of <em>P. crassifolia</em> remained stable at 2712–2800 m and 2900–2960 m. At high elevations, current January precipitation, temperature in preceding August, and precipitation and temperature variability in preceding July explained 89 % of the changes in growth synchrony. At low elevations, variability of drought in October and the temperature during spring-summer accounted for 42 % of the synchrony changes. At middle elevations, only the variability of summer temperature and the drought in July explained 17 % of the synchrony changes. The high explanatory power of climatic factors for the synchrony changes at high and low elevations indicates that forest management strategies should pay increased attention to the ecological responses in these regions under changing climatic conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50595,"journal":{"name":"Dendrochronologia","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 126405"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010682","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 is largely due to the shortness of instrumental SWS data, and long-term proxy-based reconstructions are thus highly required. Under constant stress from strong unidirectional winds, coniferous trees normally show asymmetric growth patterns via a shift of the geometric center. In this study, we found that variations of the tree-ring geometric center (TRGC) of <em>Pinus massoniana</em> were a good indicator of SWS changes from previous August to current May in the Poyang Lake area of southeastern China, where northerly winds are prevailing and strong before the arrival of the summer monsoon due to the effect of the narrow funnel topography. The TRGC records can explain 66.7 % of the instrumental SWS variance and have been used for a SWS reconstruction since 1949. This reconstruction revealed that the recent SWS decline in the 1970s, and then a reversal occurred in 2010. The reconstructed SWS exhibited a significant correlation with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) on the interdecadal scale. Furthermore, the AMO phase shifts may be important driving factors for the change of SWS in the Poyang Lake area.

One of the long-lived and endemic species of these forests is the Guaitecas Cypress (<em>Pilgerodendron uviferum</em>), the southernmost conifer in the world, with a latitudinal distribution between 39 and 55°S, from temperate rainy to Subantarctic climates, being an ideal model for studying the response of tree species to climate in high latitudes. The objective of this study is to determine the growth patterns of <em>P. uviferum</em> forests in Chilean regions of Aysén (∼47–48°S) and Magallanes (∼53°S) using ring-width chronologies of four and six forests in Aysén and Magallanes, respectively. A Principal Component Analysis identified two dominant patterns: PC1 associated with Magallanes chronologies, and PC2 with Aysén chronologies. Using ERA5-Land data (1979–2020), both components showed positive correlations with precipitation and negative correlations with temperature. PC1 was positively related to soil water content, while PC2 negatively. Contrasting responses were found with large-scale forcings, where PC1 was negatively correlated with AAO and PDO, and positively correlated with SOI, while PC2 showed the opposite pattern. Spectral analyses reinforce these results, showing regional differences in the growth patterns of <em>P. uviferum</em>. This opposite relationship suggests that regional growth patterns of <em>P. uviferum</em> are influenced by large-scale modes of climate variability affecting southern South American climates.

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.
