“…The observed records of the SSN periodicities from growth rings of trees from places with different climates, from satellites and 10 Be concentration in polar ice show regular mean cycles near 6, 11, 22, 52 and 90 years in different time scales [2,19,20,24,33,38,46,47,51,52,63]. These fluctuations are present in centurial and decadal time scales [36].…”

-A tree ring width chronology developed from 58 samples taken from Chinese pine trees (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) growing in Shenyang city was studied to analyze the effects of solar activity, Global Surface Air Temperature Anomalies (GSATA) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on annual radial growth. An excellent response of tree rings to solar activity and global environmental change was revealed, indicating that these urban Chinese pine trees are a suitable proxy for Sun-Earth system research despite their location in Shenyang, an industrial city. The information derived from annual growth rings of urban Chinese pine trees coincides with records from undisturbed trees in a natural location, and demonstrates significant synchronous response to solar activity in the periodic bands of 5-8, 10-12 and 20-30 years. The wave signal of tree growth was also affected and amplified by the combined effect of the PDO from 1900 to 2004 and GSATA from 1880 to 2004 with a short lag time, revealing 5-8, 11-13, and 20-23 year oscillatory modes. At 20-30 year timescale, Chinese pines validated the strong GSATA influence signal at 20.8 years, and may be the primary cause of the 20 and 23 year periodic waves of tree rings. Shenyang urban tree ring growth also showed high frequency variation (2-4 y) that may be due to low periodicity of solar activity, GSATA, PDO and local climate variations, especially in the 2-4 years band width.urban tree rings / sunspot number / Pacific decadal oscillation / global surface air temperature anomaly / wavelet analysis

“…Therefore, Raspopov et al (2000Raspopov et al ( , 2001 concluded that the periods of between ∼ 17 and ∼ 18 and ∼ 30 and ∼ 35 years might also be a result of solar activity nonlinear effect in atmospheric processes. Kurths et al (1993) showed that the combinations of two periods of 12.6 and 17.1 year could generate periods of 7.3 and 47.9 years as mathematical described by the following equations: (1/12.6) + (1/17.1) ∼ = 1/7.3, and (1/12.6) − (1/17.1) ∼ = 1/47.9.…”

Araucaria growth response to solar and climate variability in South Brazil

et al. 2018

Abstract. In this work, the Sun-Earth-climate relationship is studied using tree growth rings of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) O. Kuntze collected in the city of Passo Fundo, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. These samples were previously studied by Rigozo et al. (2008); however, their main interest was to search for the solar periodicities in the tree-ring width mean time series without interpreting the rest of the periodicities found. The question arises as to what are the drivers related to those periodicities. For this reason, the classical method of spectral analysis by iterative regression and wavelet methods are applied to find periodicities and trends present in each tree-ring growth, in Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and in annual mean temperature anomaly between the 24 and 44 • S. In order to address the aforementioned question, this paper discusses the correlation between the growth rate of the tree rings with temperature and SOI. In each tree-ring growth series, periods between 2 and 7 years were found, possibly related to the El Niño/La Niña phenomena, and a ∼ 23-year period was found, which may be related to temperature variation. These novel results might represent the tree-ring growth response to local climate conditions during its lifetime, and to nonlinear coupling between the Sun and the local climate variability responsible to the regional climate variations.

“…False rings can be produced by trees enduring short intraseasonal disturbances including drought, frost, herbivory, storm damage, ash fall and even earthquakes (Fritts 1976;Creber & Chaloner 1984;Sheppard & Jacoby 1989;Filion & Quinty 1993;Kurths et al 1993). One Korsaröd specimen bears evidence of charring without any healing response, indicating death by the time of the fire.…”

Disrupted vegetation as a response to Jurassic volcanism in southern Sweden

Central Skåne (Scania) in southern Sweden hosts evidence of extensive Jurassic volcanism in the form of mafic volcanic plugs and associated volcaniclastic deposits that entomb wellpreserved macro-plant and spore-pollen assemblages. Palynological assemblages recovered from the Höör Sandstone are of Hettangian-Pliensbachian age and those from the overlying lahar deposits are dated as Pliensbachian-early Toarcian (?). Palynomorph assemblages from these units reveal significantly different ecosystems, particularly with respect to the gymnospermous components that represented the main canopy plants. Both palynofloras are dominated by osmundacean, marattiacean and cyatheacean fern spore taxa but, whereas the Höör Sandstone hosts abundant Chasmatosporites spp. pollen produced by plants related to cycadophytes, the volcanogenic deposits are dominated by cypress family pollen (Perinopollenites) with an understorey component rich in putative Erdtmanithecales (or possibly Gnetales), and collectively representing vegetation of disturbed habitats. Permineralized conifer wood attributed to Protophyllocladoxylon sp., belonging to plants that probably produced the abundant Perinopollenites grains, is abundant in the volcanigenic strata, and shows sporadic intraseasonal and multi-year episodes of growth disruption. Together with the relatively narrow but marked annual growth rings, and the annual and mean sensitivity values that span the complacent-sensitive domains, these features suggest growth within Mediterranean-type biomes subject to episodic disturbance.Gold Open Access: This article is published under the terms of the CC-BY 3.0 license.
