“…3). This is consistent with the results presented for Larix Miller in China, i.e., a positive correlation with the temperature in spring [33]. From the perspective of plant physiology, as the temperature gradually increases in April, new leaves begin to develop and the xylem cells begin to divide and grow, which would promote the growth of Quercus acutissima and is conducive to the formation of earlywood.…”

In order to investigate the effects of climate factors on the tree-ring width of Quercus acutissima in the rocky mountain area of northern China, correlation analysis and response function analysis were used to determine the relationship between the tree-ring width of Quercus acutissima and climate factors. The results showed that: 1. The residual (RES) chronology of the Quercus acutissima forest contained richer environmental information than standard (STD) chronology and was suitable for response analysis. 2. Tree-ring width had a general positive correlation with the average monthly temperature, a significantly positive correlation (P<0.05) with the April temperature, and a highly significantly positive correlation (P<0.01) with the May temperature of the current year. Tree-ring width had a positive correlation with precipitation from March to June in the current year, especially a significantly positive (P<0.05) correlation with May and June precipitation, and a negative correlation with precipitation from September of the previous year to February of the current year; however, the correlation coefficients with precipitation were basically lower than the coefficients with temperature basically 3. Temperature and humidity index were the main climate factors that influenced the tree-ring width of Quercus acutissima, followed by precipitation.

“…At the end of the preceding growing season, less precipitation prior to defoliation can bring about more light input for photosynthesis, resulting in more net primary production stored for the next growing season. The negative effects of precipitation during autumn of the previous year on growth of this species have also been reported in the Wutai and Lüliang Mountains, both approximately 150 km from our study area [4,33].…”

Dendroecological techniques were used to examine the relationships between topographic aspects, climate factors and radial growth of Picea meyeri and Larix principis-rupprechtii in Luyashan Mountains, North-Central China. Four sites were selected at timberline and totally 67 trees and 134 cores were collected. Pearson correlation and regression surface analysis were conducted to reveal the growth-climate relationships. The results indicated that the two species both showed significant negative correlations with temperature during preceding November on the two topographic aspects. On both slope aspects, growth of P. meyeri exhibited significant negative correlations with precipitation in current June, whereas growth of L. principis-rupprechtii showed significant negative correlations with precipitation in preceding September. On north-facing slope, tree growth was limited by low temperature in early growing season, which not shown on south-facing slope. If climate warming continues, L. principis-rupprechtii may be more favored and a reverse between relationships with temperature and precipitation maybe occur in growth of trees. Treeline position on the north-facing slope may possess a greater potential for elevation shifting than the OPEN ACCESSForests 2015, 6 117 south-facing slope. Our results supply useful information for discussing the potential effect of future climate on the forest growth in North-Central China.

“…In this study, the tree-ring maximum density of Dahurian larch near the treeline revealed a strong relationship with mean maximum temperature during May-August, which was very similar to the results of Schrenk Larch in the Tianshan Mountains at high altitudes in northwestern China [20]. From a physiological perspective, the tree cambium develops tracheids and lengthens rapidly the earlywood cells in the early growing season, representing tree-ring width sensitive to winter and spring temperatures prior to the current growing season [13,15,41]. During the later part of the growing season, radial growth of trees tends to process cellwall thickening and nutrition accumulation.…”

Tree-ring samples from Dahurian Larch (Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.) were collected at three sites in the northern Da Hinggan Mountains. Using samples measured by X-ray densitometry, measurements of tree-ring maximum latewood density chronologies of two sites were found to be significantly correlated with summer temperature. These two sites' tree-ring series were combined to form a single standard regional chronology. This was used to reconstruct the May-August monthly mean maximum temperature for the period 1855-2008 AD, and it explained 39.5% of the total temperature variance. In the past 154 years, there were 4 cold periods (1874-1893, 1927-1948, 1951-1960 and 1992-2002) and 4 warm periods (1855-1873, 1894-1916, 1961-1991 and 2003-2008). The summer temperature rose more obviously than that of winter in this region. Having been validated by other temperature reconstructions from the surrounding area, the reconstruction could indicate the summer temperature changes of large-scale regions.Dahurian Larch (Larix gmelinii), maximum latewood density, summer temperature reconstruction, tree rings Citation:Sun Y, Wang L L, Chen J, et al.
