“…The different RWT values of TRW chronologies imply that tree-ring width of current year is related differently to climate in previous years. In our study, MS and STD values of TRW chronologies were rather high compared with other species, which is consistent with previous studies involving Changbai larch (Chen et al 2011;Li et al 2011). MS values varied with elevation, which suggests that tree-ring growth responds differently to climate variables along the altitudinal gradient.…”

Key message We investigated the variability of the relationships between climate and tree-ring growth along an altitudinal gradient and the temporal instability of the relationships under warming for Changbai larch (Larix olgensis Henry) in northeast of China. Abstract Growth response of trees to climate has been found to vary with elevation, but their relationships might also be altered with ongoing global climate change. We developed residual chronologies of tree-ring growth parameters at three sites to investigate variability of the interactions between climate and tree-ring growth for Changbai larch (Larix olgensis Henry) along an altitudinal gradient on the northern slopes of the Changbai Mountains area in Northeastern China. The results indicate that temperature and precipitation are linked differently to the formation of the annual ring width of Changbai larch at different elevations. Tree-ring density of Changbai larch is mainly positively associated with temperature while negatively responding to precipitation. The relationships between temperature and tree-ring growth became unstable, however, after the notable warming of the late 1980s in the study area. Tree-ring width decreased at low elevation under drought stress, whereas showed more positive sensitivity to warming at higher altitudes. We found that the tree-ring density relationship with temperature also became unstable under the rising temperature regime. These findings could be applied in simulating tree-ring growth and forest distribution under various climatic and environmental scenarios.

“…Recently, the broad‐leaved and primitive Korean pine forests disappeared in most of its distribution areas, whereas Changbai Mountain, as one of the core distribution areas of Korean pine forest, is still well covered by the most representative vertical gradient‐distributed old‐growth Korean pine forest (Shen et al., ; Yu et al., , ). At elevations from 700 to 900 m, the main forest type is a broad‐leaved and Korean pine forest in Changbai Mountain; it turns to spruce‐fir and Korean pine mixed forests at higher elevations (Li, Bai, & Sang, ; Zhao, Fang, Zong, Zhu, & Shen, ). Here, we investigated diversity and composition of soil bacterial community and discussed underlying factors affecting vertical distribution patterns of the Korean pine forests by using Illumina High‐throughput sequencing.…”

The broad‐leaved and Korean pine mixed forest in Changbai Mountain, China is an important component of boreal forest; the area is sensitive to global climate change. To understand spatial distribution patterns of soil bacterial community along elevation, we analyzed the soil bacterial community diversity and composition along an elevational gradient of 699–1177 m in a primitive Korean pine forest in Changbai Mountain using the high‐throughput sequencing. In total, 149,519 optimized sequences were obtained. Bacterial Shannon index increased along elevation from 699 m to 937 m and started to decrease at the elevation of 1,044 m, showing a humpback curve along elevation. Evenness (ACE index) and richness (Chao index) of the soil bacterial community both decreased with elevation (the highest values of 770 and 762 at 699 m and the lowest values of 548 and 539 at 1,177 m, respectively), all the indices are significantly different between elevations. Bacterial composition at phylum and genus levels had some differences between elevations, but the dominant bacterial populations were generally consistent. Beta‐diversity analysis showed a distance‐decay pattern of bacterial community similarity at different samples. Soil physical and chemical properties explained 70.78% of the variation in bacterial community structure (soil pH explained 19.95%), and elevational distance only explained 8.42%. In conclusion, the contemporary environmental disturbances are the critical factors in maintaining the bacterial spatial distribution compared with historical contingencies.

“…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).…”

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.
