“…In agreement with dating results from morphostratigraphically similar settings in other studies (e.g. Br€ auning and Lehmkuhl, 1996;Xu et al, 2012) it is thus suggested that these moraines represent the advances of the late 19th and early 20th century.…”

“…Br€ auning and Lehmkuhl, 1996;Xu et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2013). In comparison to observations from other high mountain environments, noticeable differences in the timing of LIA glacier fluctuations are obvious; specifically, the last prominent LIA glacier advance in the eastern Nyainqêntanglha Range consists of multiple advances and was earlier than the last large LIA advance in the European Alps (1800e1860 CE; Holzhauser et al, 2005) or the Rocky Mountains (1800e1810 CE; Luckman, 2000).…”

“…In the eastern Nyainqêntanglha Range, such dendroglaciological approaches are particularly useful because many glacier tongues are reaching down below the timberline; consequently, a wealth of dendrochronological case studies from different glaciers in the region has been published during the last decade (e.g. Br€ auning, 2006;Xu et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2013). In comparison to the aforementioned 14 C dating results, most tree ring minimum ages for beginning glacier retreat are remarkably young, i.e.…”

“…The warm phases during the 1940s-1950s, however, coincide with the rapid retreats of the glacier in the Gongga Mountains (Li and Su, 1996;Li et al, 2010;Duan et al, 2013) and the Meili Snow Mountain (Zheng et al, 1999). Conspicuous period with high temperature during the 1770s in our reconstruction was approximately concurrent with the beginning of retreat for Midui (Xu et al, 2012) and Xinluhai (Bräuning, 2006) glacier in the southeastern TP, occurred in 1767 and 1777, respectively. Thus, the reconstructed AugustSeptember temperature variability in this study may be used as an indicator of past glacier fluctuations in nearby areas to some extent.…”

Global warming has a significant impact on the ecosystem of the high‐altitude areas of the Tibetan Plateau, such as land degradation and the rapid retreat of glaciers. It is important to understand the effects of global warming occurring over hundreds or thousands of years. However, the long‐term reconstruction of temperature is still lacking for the region of Western Sichuan Plateau (WSP). In this study, we reconstructed summer (June–July) temperatures back to 1383 for the WSP region based on a significant positive correlation between the standard chronology and summer temperature. The reconstruction passed statistical tests and explained 55.4% of the climatic variance in the period for which data are available (1962–2005). There have been five periods with warm summers and five with cold summers during the past 623 years. Warm periods occurred in 1383–1445, 1525–1590, 1700–1724, 1825–1870, and 1930–1960, while relatively cold periods occurred in 1446–1524, 1591–1675, 1725–1824, 1900–1929, and 1961–1990. A comparison with observed data and regional temperature reconstruction series shows that the reconstruction has a high degree of consistency and is indicative and reliability. The spatial correlation was analysed with Climatic Research Unit gridded data to detect the spatial representativeness of the reconstruction, confirming that the reconstruction has a strong regional temperature signal for the WSP. Furthermore, ensemble empirical mode decomposition indicates quasi‐oscillations of 2.8–3.3, 6.4–8.3, 11.1–14.2, 25–38.4, 89, and 138 years in the reconstructed temperature time series during the past 623 years. El Niño Southern Oscillation cycles, solar activity, and Atlantic multi‐decadal oscillation may be the primary forcing factors. Meanwhile, the coordinated action of temperature‐induced drought stress with a late growing season related to delayed snowmelt can potentially be attributed to the divergence problem (observed around 2005).
