“…The response of A. durangensis to climate was characterized by its growth being enhanced by cold and rainy winters, which is in accordance with reports for similar Mexican conifer species [30]. High winter evaporation rates, associated with high maximum temperatures, promote moisture deficit by decreasing soil moisture reserves at the beginning of the growing season [49].…”

“…Although previous studies have been conducted in these Mexican mountains to associate climate variability with the radial growth of certain tree species [28][29][30][31], to date, there has been no analysis containing a multi-species perspective in locations of differing water availability. Several studies agree on the need to improve knowledge of the long-term drought impact at contrasting sites and forest types [11,32].…”

Drought is a major constraint of forest productivity and tree growth across diverse habitat types. In this study, we investigated the drought responses of four conifer species growing within two locations of differing elevation and climatic conditions in northern Mexico. Two species were selected at a mesic site (Cupressus lusitanica Mill., Abies durangensis Martínez) and the other two species were sampled at a xeric site (Pinus engelmannii Carr., Pinus cembroides Zucc.). Using a dendrochronological approach, we correlated the radial-growth series of each species and the climatic variables. All study species positively responded to wet-cool conditions during winter and spring. Despite the close proximity of species at a mesic site, A. durangensis had high responsiveness to hydroclimatic variability, but C. lusitanica was not responsive. At the xeric site, P. engelmannii and P. cembroides were very responsive to drought severity, differentiated only by the longer time scale of the response to accumulated drought of P. engelmannii. The responsiveness to hydroclimate and drought of these tree species seems to be modulated by site conditions, or by the functional features of each species that are still little explored. These findings indicate that differentiating between mesic and xeric habitats is a too coarse approach in diverse forests with a high topographic heterogeneity.

“…Previous studies have reported that large-scale atmospheric climatic patterns (El Niño-Southern Oscillation, ENSO) influence the regimes of climatic variability in the study areas by affecting the summer Monsoon [18,46]. Our results concur with this idea, particularly for the Nuevo León site, where growth showed a positive response to winter precipitation and the SPEI in central Mexico, a region affected by ENSO effects and also by fronts coming from the Atlantic Ocean [46].…”

“…Even though some differences in chronologies across the gradient were found, general trends in ring-width variation were similar. An increased period of growth preceded by a period of low growth during the 1920s and 1950s was coincident with severe regional droughts reported in nearby ecosystems [14,18]. These similarities suggest that P. cembroides growth is influenced by the local hydroclimate.…”

“…In this sense, Mexico has a tremendous diversity of pines due to its climatic and topographic variation, which facilitates a biogeographic comparison of the response of radial growth to climate across the distribution ranges of specific taxa as pines [5]. For instance, Pinus cembroides is so widely distributed that it has a high dendrochronological application because it forms cross-datable and annual tree rings [14], and it occupies sites with different climate conditions [15], as well as diverse topographies and soil types [14,[16][17][18]. For this reason, the wide geographic distribution of Pinus cembroides and its ecological amplitude provide an ideal opportunity to improve our understanding of the responses of its radial growth to hydroclimatic variability [19].…”

Climate change modifies the distribution and dominance of forest tree species, particularly near their distribution limits. This study used tree-ring width data for Pinus cembroides Zucc. at its distribution limits in Mexico and the SW USA to assess how tree populations responded to hydroclimatic variability. Indexed ring-width chronologies were built and correlated with climate and drought records at four marginal stands. We found that P. cembroides responds differently to climatic conditions depending on the bioclimatic and biogeographic conditions, with the forests situated in the driest area (Nuevo León) presenting the highest growth association to maximum temperatures and drought, while the forest situated in the wettest area (Puebla) was the least correlated to these hydroclimatic factors. In particular, dry and hot conditions, during the prior autumn and winter, reduced radial growth. Drought conditions could result in more vulnerable forests at the driest sites. These results advance our understanding of the radial growth responses of P. cembroides and similar widely distributed trees to climatic change near their biogeographical limits.
