“…The final tree-ring width chronologies were developed using ARSTAN software (Cook & Holmes, 1986) and are analyzed and discussed in detail in Y. Zhang, Li, et al (2021), who identified a significant summer temperature signal in the tree ring width index. Previous studies have found that the stable oxygen composition of tree rings can record a regional moisture or hydrological signal in southeastern Tibetan Plateau (An et al, 2014;Grießinger et al, 2011Grießinger et al, , 2017Wernicke et al, 2015Wernicke et al, , 2017a.…”
