“…These factors reduce ring width, latewood proportion and density of wood. On the other hand, changing air CO 2 concentration, fertilisation by nitrogen deposition from air pollution by NO 2 , and forest management practices, can stimulate productivity of trees ( Sander et al, 1995; Dünisch et al, 1996; Kim and Fukazawa, 1997 ). All these factors can influence the robustness of climate reconstructions.…”

This paper presents a multi-century, maximum latewood density (MXD) chronology developed from living and sub-fossil spruce trees from the Eastern Alps. The chronology is continuous from 88AD to 2008AD. This time series has been analysed with respect to its possible use for climate reconstruction. Correlations with climatic data showed strong dependence between MXD of growth rings and temperature of April, May, June, July, August and September and a weaker, negative dependence with precipitation of May and September. For solar radiation a positive relationship was noted for April, July, August and September. Light rings were frequently observed within the analysed samples and the climate of years with light rings was examined. Mean monthly temperatures in January, June, August, September and October, averaged during light ring years, were cooler than during years without light rings. Precipitation was also significantly reduced in March during light ring years. In turn, solar radiation during light ring years has significantly lowered values in February and August. The occurrence of light rings was often positively related to strong volcanic events.

“…Forest decline in Asia has been linked to acid precipitation (Hirano et al 2007), air pollution and global warming (Woo 2009). Impacts of atmospheric NO 2 concentration on forest decline of Pinus densiflora in Japan have been reported by Kume et al (2000) and decreases in annual ring width of Pinus thunbergii stands exposed to SO 2 concentration have also been reported by Kim and Fukazawa (1997).

Annual ring formation is considered a source of information to investigate the effects of environmental changes causedby temperature, air pollution, and acid rain on tree growth. A comparative investigation of annual ring growth of Cryptomeriajaponica in relation to environmental changes was conducted at two sites in southern Korea (Haenam and Jangseong).Three wood disks from each site were collected from stems at breast height and annual ring growth was analyzed.Annual ring area at two sites increased over time (p > 0.05). Tree ring growth rate in Jangseong was higher than that inHaenam. Annual ring area increment in Jangseong was more strongly correlated with environmental variables than thatin Haenam; annual ring growth increased with increasing temperature (p < 0.01) and a positive effect of NO2 concentrationon annual ring area (p < 0.05) could be attributed to nitrogen deposition in Jangseong. The correlation of annualring growth increased with decreasing SO2 and CO2 concentrations (p < 0.01) in Jangseong. Variation in annual growthrings in Jangseong could be associated with temperature changes and N deposition. In Haenam, annual ring growth wascorrelated with SO2 concentration (p < 0.01), and there was a negative relationship between precipitation pH and annualring area (p < 0.01) which may reflect changes in nutrient cycles due to the acid rain. Therefore, the combined effects ofincreased CO2, N deposition, and temperature on tree ring growth in Jangseong may be linked to soil acidification in thisforest ecosystem. The interactions between air pollution (SO2) and precipitation pH in Haenam may affect tree growthand may change nutrient cycles in this site. These results suggested that annual tree ring growth in Jangseong was morecorrelated with environmental variables than that in Haenam. However, the further growth of C. japonica forest at twosites is at risk from the long-term effects of acid deposition from fossil fuel combustion
