“…In recent years, dendrochronological studies in eastern China have been developing rapidly, including tree ring research of Chinese Pine [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Chinese Pine is an endemic species and widely distributed in northern China due to its ecological characteristics of cold and drought resistance.…”

Tree ring data from the southern boundary of Chinese Pine (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) distribution where is the southern warm temperate margin, the paper analyzes the response of climate factors along north–south direction to tree growth. The results show that temperature and precipitation in May–June and relative moisture from March to June are main limiting factors on trees growth; however, the temperature in the south of the mountains and the moisture in the north of the mountains have relatively greater influence on trees’ growth. Additionally, we also found that the regional scPDSIMJ (that is scPDSI in May–June) was the most significant and stable factor limiting tree growth to be used for reconstruction. The reconstructed scPDSIMJ revealed that there were 29 extremely dry years and 30 extremely wet years during 1801–2016, and it could represent the drought variation in central and eastern monsoon region. The variation exists in good agreement with the reconstructed PDSI for Mt. Shennong and the drought/wetness series in Zhengzhou. Further research found that the droughts of May–June in central China were mainly impacted by local temperature and moisture (including precipitation, soil moisture, potential evaporation and water pressure), and then by the northern Pacific Ocean and the northern Atlantic Ocean. These results may provide better understanding of May–June drought variation and service for agricultural production in central China.

“…The correlation was significantly high ( r = 0.45, p < 0.01) at the multidecadal scale during the period 1950–2013 based on a 25‐year moving average because of a 20–30‐year cycle of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO, Mantua et al, 1997). Using the years 1740–2009 (timespan covered by the temperature reconstruction), a significant negative correlation ( r = −0.30, p < 0.01) with the summer temperature reconstruction of the Qinling Mountains (Chen et al, 2021) based on the tree‐ring maximum density was also found. The same SST anomalies happened in the North Pacific and North Atlantic with antiphase combination of PDO and AMO (Zhang et al, 2018).…”

We present a runoff reconstruction for the Bailong River based on the composite chronology developed from four sampling sites of Pinus tabulaeformis in the China north–south transition zone. The runoff reconstruction, spanning 1601–2013 CE, was developed by calibrating tree‐ring data with the instrumental runoff record. Runoff reconstruction accounted for 44.3% of the actual runoff variance during the common period 1958–2010 and provided a long‐term perspective on hydrological change in the China north–south transition zone. In the past 413 years, high‐ and low‐runoff years accounted for 15.50% and 15.98%, respectively. Of all the 17 extreme hydrological events, 14 of them are extremely high‐flow years, and 17th century was the wettest period during the past 413 years. The preliminary analysis results show that there is a relationship between our runoff reconstruction and the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation at multidecadal scale. Since the 1990s, runoff in the China north–south transition zone has also seen a significant decrease as a result of dry trends of the source region.

“…In a study on cypress Cupressus sempervirens L. from the Zagros Mountains of southwestern Iran, Arsalani et al [23] reconstructed almost 500 years of long-term seasonal precipitation variability. Currently, a large number of paleoclimate reconstructions based on tree-rings have been carried out in China, mainly in Xinjiang [24] , the Qinling Mountains [25] , North China [26] , West Sichuan [27] , the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [28][29] , and the southwestern part of the country [30][31] .…”

In order to study the historical wet and dry changes in the northern Daxing'anling region of China, this paper established a standard chronology of tree-ring width at high (1150 m), medium (800–900 m), and low (700 m) elevations. The analysis was based on tree-ring cores of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica from three elevation gradients in the northern Daxing'anling and correlates it with the SPEI (Standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index) of 12-month time scale. The established widths were correlated with the SPEI at a 12-month time scale. Climate-growth correlation analysis revealed that the low elevation chronology exhibited the highest correlation with the SPEI index in July–August (r = 0.665, p < 0.01). Based on this, a linear regression model between the low elevation tree-ring width chronology and the July–August SPEI index was established via regression analysis to reconstruct the dry and wet changes in the study area in the past 210 years. The explained variance (R2) of the reconstructed equation was 44.3%, (the explained variance after adjusting for degrees of freedom was 43.3%), and the F-value was 45.295.The reconstruction satisfied required statistical calibration and validation tests. The inter-annual variations indicate that the study area experienced six wet periods (1809–1818, 1828–1837, 1848–1864, 1928–1948, 1950–1972 and 1996–2003) and six dry periods (1819–1827, 1838–1847, 1865–1904, 1906–1923, 1973–1988 and 2004–2018), with an equal share of wet and dry years (13.8% and 14.8%). The reconstruction results are confirmed by the historical data and the reconstruction results of the surrounding region of the study area. Wavelet analysis reveals oscillatory cycles of 18, 26–29, and 40 years in the reconstructed sequence, which may be related to the North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Multi-Year Intergenerational Oscillation (AMO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO).
