“…Other researchers have drawn similar conclusions, i.e., that precipitation and the soil water content have a significant effect on the radial growth of Pinus koraiensis in the Changbai Mountains (Wang et al 2001;Xiao et al 2004). Previous studies Yu et al 2011) have shown that the radial growth of Pinus koraiensis was positively correlated with the Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) throughout the year, which confirms that water stress plays an important role in the growth of this species. Our results also showed that precipitation in the middle of the growing season (June and July) was significantly positively correlated with NPP.…”

“…Almost all monthly T min values were positively correlated with the NPP of Pinus koraiensis. Yu et al (2011) found that the high temperature during the growing season limited radial vegetation growth in low altitude areas in the Changbai Mountains. In contrast, the monthly minimum temperature in the growing season was positively correlated with NPP, indicating that the increase in monthly minimum temperature promoted vegetative growth.…”

Key message The net primary productivity (NPP) of Pinus koraiensis, estimated from tree-ring widths, has a significant correlation with the minimum temperature in April and the summer precipitation over the past 50 years. Abstract This study investigated the relationship between climate and Pinus koraiensis net primary productivity (NPP) (estimated using tree-ring widths) and the effect of climate on NPP in the Changbai Mountains. Three typical areas of Pinus koraiensis and a broad-leaved mixed forest were investigated and sampled. NPP was estimated using biomass equations and the annual diameter at breast height, calculated from tree-ring widths. A stepwise regression was used for the quantitative analysis of the response of NPP to climate variation, whereas correlation and response analyses were used to illustrate the relationship between the climatic variables and NPP. The results showed that between 1960 and 2012, the biomass of sampled Pinus koraiensis in the Changbai Mountains almost doubled, from 107.70 to 205.29 t ha -1 . The NPP of Pinus koraiensis varied steadily within a confined range over the past 52 years, with an average of 1.88 t ha -1 year -1 . In this study, it was deduced that NPP was simultaneously affected by temperature and precipitation. The minimum temperature in April and the precipitation in June and July, which most affected the changes in NPP, could explain 28.4 % of the NPP variance. The extreme values of these principal climatic controls corresponded well with extreme NPP values. However, an increase in NPP caused by recent warming prior to the growing season might have been offset by a decrease in summer precipitation. Furthermore, the effect of temperature change on NPP was complex. An increase in monthly low temperatures induced by warming acted to increase NPP, while the monthly high temperatures during the growing season had a negative impact on NPP for the drought.

“…One, the sampling site was located at high elevations close to the upper limit of the Korean pine distribution, which may cause tree growth to be more sensitive to minimum temperature (Szeicz and MacDonald, 1995;D'Arrigo et al, 2009;Li et al, 2011;Yu et al, 2011;Flower and Smith, 2012). High minimum temperatures in the early growing season can inhibit frost damage and thus allow the formation of a wider ring (Wu, 1990; Akkemik, 2000; Mäkinen et al, 2003).…”

“…A crucial growth period of Korean pine in every year was from April to July. During this period, temperature could have direct effects on the photosynthesis rate, cambium activity, and respiration efficiency, etc., which affect the formation of ring width (Li et al, 2000;Yu et al, 2011). Therefore, Korean pine radial growth was positively correlated with the average minimum temperature from April to July.…”

Abstract.A ring-width series was used as a proxy to reconstruct the past 414-year record of April-July minimum temperature at Laobai Mountain, northeast China. The chronology was built using standard tree-ring procedures for providing comparable information in this area while preserving low-frequency signals. By analyzing the relationship between the tree-ring chronology of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) and meteorological data, we found that the standard chronology was significantly correlated with the April-July minimum temperature (r = 0.757, p < 0.01). Therefore, the April-July minimum temperature since 1600 (more than six trees, but the expressed population signal (EPS) is greater than 0.85 since 1660) was reconstructed by this tree-ring series. The reconstruction equation accounted for 57.3 % of temperature variation, and it was proved reliable by testing with several methods (e.g., sign test, product mean test, reduction of the error, and coefficient of efficiency). Reconstructed April-July minimum temperature on Laobai Mountain showed six major cold periods (1605-1616, 1645-1677, 1684-1691, 1911-1924, 1930-1942, and 1951-1969) and seven major warm periods (1767-1785, 1787-1793, 1795-1807, 1819-1826, 1838-1848, 1856-1873, and 1991-2008) during the past 414 years. The reconstructed low-temperature periods in the 17th and early 18th century were consistent with the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the Northern Hemisphere, and the rate of warming in the 19th century was significantly slower than that in the late 20th century. In addition, the reconstructed series was fairly consistent with the historical and natural disaster records of extreme climate events (e.g., cold damage and frost disaster) in this area. This temperature record provides new evidence of past climate variability, and can be used to predict the climate trend in the future in northeast China.

“…De acordo com Sette Junior et al (2010), o crescimento do tronco das árvores é estimulado pelas variáveis climáticas após um intervalo de tempo considerado como "período de defasagem", como já mencionado acima. Castro (2014) e inúmeros outros autores (WIMMER et al, 2002;DREW et al, 2008;OLIVEIRA et al, 2011;YU et al, 2011, SETTE JUNIOR et al, 2010, 2012a, também defendem que a defasagem aumenta a correlação entre a resposta ao incremento em diâmetro do tronco e as variáveis climáticas. Entretanto, neste trabalho só foi verificado um aumento da correlação para as variáveis temperatura máxima, temperatura mínima, temperatura média e evapotranspiração, com um período de defasagem de 43 dias, indo contra o verificado por Laclau et al (2003) (ZWEIFEL et al, 2001).…”
