“…The timing of the start of the growing season was found to be a factor affecting radial growth in a population of white pine growing in the northern region of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan (Kilgore and Telewski 2004), as well as Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula Michigan (Graumlich 1993). In contrast, Chhin et al (2013) examined a more southern population of white pine in Michigan's Lower Peninsula and did not observe any radial growth dependency on spring temperatures.…”

“…Natural populations of white pine have been examined in prior dendroclimatic and dendroecological studies in eastern North America (Graumlich 1993 Chhin et al 2013). This study represents the first dendroclimatic assessment of a long-term range-wide provenance study of white pine, which consisted of 7 test sites in the United States and Canada and 13 provenances obtained from across the species' natural range.…”

“…Radial growth was sensitive to summer drought stress at these test sites. Reduced radial growth due to growing season drought has been observed in white pine in other regions of eastern North America, including northern Minnesota (Kipfmueller et al 2010), the southern region of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan (Chhin et al 2013), an old growth stand of white pine in Massachusetts (Abrams et al 2000), and the southern Appalachian region (Vose and Swank 1994).…”

“…During the growing season, high temperature stress can also induce water stress by increasing evaporative water demand (Fritts 1976). High temperature has been observed to reduce radial growth of white pine growing in the southern region of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan (Chhin et al 2013) and in northern Minnesota (Kipfmueller et al . During the winter, high temperatures can interfere with maintenance of cold hardiness leading to low temperature injury (Havranek and Tranquillini 1995).…”

Background: The main objective of this study was to examine the climatic sensitivity of the radial growth response of 13 eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) provenances planted at seven test sites throughout the northern part of the species' native distribution in eastern North America. Methods: The test sites (i.e., Wabeno, Wisconsin, USA; Manistique, Michigan, USA; Pine River, Michigan, USA; Newaygo, Michigan, USA; Turkey Point, Ontario, Canada; Ganaraska, Ontario, Canada; and Orono, Maine, USA) examined in this study were part of a range-wide white pine provenance trial established in the early 1960s in the eastern United States and Canada. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to examine the main modes of variation [first (PC1) and second (PC2) principal component axes] in the standardized radial growth indices of the provenances at each test site. The year scores for PC1 and PC2 were examined in relation to an array of test site climate variables using multiple regression analysis to examine the commonality of growth response across all provenances to the climate of each test site. Provenance loadings on PC1 and PC2 were correlated with geographic parameters (i.e., latitude, longitude, elevation) and a suite of biophysical parameters associated with provenance origin location. Results: The amount of variation in radial growth explained by PC1 and PC2 ranged from 43.4% to 89.6%. Dendroclimatic models revealed that white pine radial growth responses to climate were complex and differed among sites. The key dendroclimatic relationships observed included sensitivity to high temperature in winter and summer, cold temperature in the spring and fall (i.e., beginning and end of the growing season), summer moisture stress, potential sensitivity to storminduced damage in spring and fall, and both positive and negative effects of higher winter snowfall. Separation of the loadings of provenances on principal component axes was mainly associated with temperature-related bioclimatic parameters of provenance origin at 5 of the 7 test sites close to the climate influence of the Great Lakes (i.e., Wabeno, Manistique, Pine River, Newaygo, and Turkey Point). In contrast, differences in radial growth response to climate at the Ganaraska test site, were driven more by precipitation-related bioclimatic parameters of the provenance origin location while radial growth at the easternmost Orono test site was independent of bioclimate at the provenance origin location. Conclusions: Study results suggest that genetic adaptation to temperature and precipitation regime may significantly influence radial growth performance of white pine populations selected for use in assisted migration programs to better adapt white pine to a future climate.

“…Regarding arid riparian forests, the strength in the flowgrowth relationship of riparian Populus trichocarpa (Torr. & Gray) stands distributed in Sierra Nevada (USA) varied with tree position in the floodplain (Stromberg and Patten, 1996), while the eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) growth response to environmental variability is modulated by differences in hydrological settings among floodway and terrace sites (Chhin et al, 2013).…”

Ecotones, as for example riparian zones, have long interested ecologists, due to their potential role in generating species biodiversity and evolutionary novelty, as well as their sensitivity to environmental changes. Along riparian areas, vegetation is recognized for its ecological importance in several ecosystemic processes. In the Central Monte Desert (central-west Argentina), Prosopis flexuosa grows in territories characterized by a permanent access to water reservoirs, e.g. along riverbanks, where the species forms the classic gallery forests. Despite the ecosystemic role of the different Prosopis species distributed in arid lands, thus far no analysis has been conducted regarding the relation between their radial growth and hydrological changes, namely streamflow variability, in riparian settings. To fill this gap of knowledge, we performed a dendrochronological analysis considering several riparian P. flexuosa trees differing in their spatial position in relation to the riverbank. Pointer years, correlation function, and regression analyses show differences in the dendrohydrological signal of the studied species, probably function of tree distance from the river. In this sense, radial growth of trees distributed near the riverbank is tightly coupled to spring-summer (September to March) streamflow variability, whereas for farthest trees the ring development is driven by a combination of winter and spring river discharge and late-summer precipitation amount. The presented results demonstrate the potentiality of P. flexuosa, and in a broader sense of the Prosopis genus, in dendrohydrological studies.
