Development of a <i>Larix principis</i>-<i>rupprechtii</i> tree-ring width chronology and its climatic signals for the southern Greater Higgnan Mountains
Abstract:Forty-one living larch (Larix principis-rupprechtii) trees collected from two sampling sites in 1310-1530 m a.s.l. in the southern Greater Higgnan Mountains in the northeastern China are used to develop a regional tree-ring width chronology. The credible chronology spans 185 years from 1830 to 2014. The results of correlation analyses indicate that moisture is the main climatic factor controlling radial growth of larch trees in this mountainous area. Spatial correlation proves that the regional tree-ring width… Show more
