用树木年轮重建阿勒泰东部6-7月平均温度序列

 利用采自阿勒泰中东部地区8个树轮采样点的西伯利亚落叶松树轮资料,建立宽度年表。分析这些年表与气候要素的相关性发现,标准化年表序列与该地区青河气象站6—7月的月平均气温存在显著的正相关关系,最高单相关为卓勒萨依ZLS年表,相关系数为0.555（P＜0.0001）,且具有明显的树木生理学意义。用卓勒萨依t和卓勒萨依t+3两个树轮标准化年表序列,可较好地重建该地区过去394 a来6—7月月平均气温序列,交叉检验表明,重建方程稳定可靠。分析发现,阿勒泰东部地区394 a来的气温重建序列具有7个偏冷和7个偏暖阶段,和2.7~3.7 a,43.7 a,52.4 a的显著冷暖变化准周期。月平均气温重建序列存在10个突变点,其中在1669年,1714年,1762年,1802年和1939年前后为初夏月平均气温由低向高突变,而在1691年,1732年,1781年,1919年和1963年前后是自高温向低温突变。

川西高原夏季降水变化特征及其异常年环流形势

利用川西高原9个观测站的1960—2006年夏季降水资料分析了川西高原夏季降水的气候变化特征及其与大尺度环流的关系。得到如下主要结论:①1960—2006年,川西高原的夏季降水有微弱增加的趋势。20世纪60年代、80年代和近几年,川西高原夏季降水偏多,70年代和90年代川西高原夏季降水明显偏少。②川西高原夏季降水多雨年和少雨年的环流形势存着明显的差异。高原夏季降水与500 hPa乌拉尔山高压脊、亚洲东北部高压脊、巴尔喀什湖至贝加尔湖之间的低压槽密切相关,还与100 hPa南亚高压的强弱有关。③川西高原多雨年前期春季OLR距平场上,印度洋中部对流偏强,印尼-南海南部地区对流减弱。OLR的变化可以为川西高原夏季降水的预测提供参考依据。     

川西高原6-7月最低气温场重建研究

 经过单相关普查,选择川西高原甘孜、阿坝两州的14个树木年轮宽度年表和14个气象站的1961—2005年6—7月最低气温资料分别建立树轮宽度场和最低气温场。计算树轮宽度场和最低气温场的典型相关系数,发现两个场的第一特征向量和第三特征向量有较好的相关性。利用多元线性回归模型分别重建14个地点的1787—2005年6—7月最低气温序列和川西地区平均气温序列,重建6—7月最低气温场。分析最低气温重建场发现,第一特征向量能较好地反映川西地区的冷暖变化。在近两个世纪里,川西地区最低气温场第一特征向量的方差贡献率在增加,而最低气温场的收敛速度在减慢。

闽北地区柳杉树轮宽度变化对气候因子的响应

以福建北部宁德市虎贝镇柳杉树芯为对象,建立研究区68年(1950—2017)柳杉树轮宽度标准年表。通过年表与气候要素的响应分析发现:研究区柳杉树轮宽度与上一年7月和当年6月温度在原始序列和一阶差序列上均显著负相关(P0.01),夏季高温造成的干旱胁迫限制了柳杉径向生长;标准年表与前一年7月至当年6月降水和标准化降水蒸散指数(Standardized Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index, SPEI)在原始序列和一阶差序列上均显著正相关(P0.01),柳杉生长亦受水文年降水限制,土壤水分在其中起到关键作用。柳杉宽度年表与当年1—3月全球海表温度(Sea Surface Temperature,SST)相关空间分布特征显示:树木径向生长与厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)之间存在显著相关,说明ENSO可以通过遥相关(teleconnections)调控研究区的水文气候,从而影响区域的树木生长。     

采用高山松最大密度重建川西高原1917-2002年夏季气温

Having analyzed the tree ring width and maximum latewood density of Pinus den-sata from west Sichuan, we obtained different climate information from tree-ring width and maximum latewood density chronology. The growth of tree ring width was responded princi-pally to the precipitation in current May, which might be influenced by the activity of southwest monsoon, whereas the maximum latewood density reflected summer temperature (June-September). According to the correlation relationship, a transfer function had been used to reconstruct summer temperature for the study area. The explained variance of re-construction is 51% (F=-52.099, p<0.0001). In the reconstruction series: before the 1930s, the climate was relatively cold, and relatively warm from 1930 to 1960, this trend was in accor-dance with the cold-warm period of the last 100 years, west Sichuan. Compared with Chengdu, the warming break point in west Sichuan is 3 years ahead of time, indicating that the Tibetan Plateau was more sensitive to temperature change. There was an evident sum-mer warming signal after 1983. Although the last 100-year running average of summer tem-perature in the 1990s was the maximum, the running average of the early 1990s was below the average line and it was cold summer, but summer drought occurred in the late 1990s.     

Reconstruction of summer temperature variation from maximum density of alpine pine during 1917?2002 for west Sichuan Plateau, China

Having analyzed the tree ring width and maximum latewood density of Pinus den-sata from west Sichuan, we obtained different climate information from tree-ring width and maximum latewood density chronology. The growth of tree ring width was responded princi-pally to the precipitation in current May, which might be influenced by the activity of southwest monsoon, whereas the maximum latewood density reflected summer temperature (June–September). According to the correlation relationship, a transfer function had been used to reconstruct summer temperature for the study area. The explained variance of re-construction is 51% (F=52.099, p<0.0001). In the reconstruction series: before the 1930s, the climate was relatively cold, and relatively warm from 1930 to 1960, this trend was in accor-dance with the cold-warm period of the last 100 years, west Sichuan.

Reconstruction of summer temperature variation from maximum density of alpine pine during 1917–2002 for west Sichuan Plateau, China

Having analyzed the tree ring width and maximum latewood density of Pinus densata from west Sichuan, we obtained different climate information from tree-ring width and maximum latewood density chronology. The growth of tree ring width was responded princi- pally to the precipitation in current May, which might be influenced by the activity of southwest monsoon, whereas the maximum latewood density reflected summer temperature （June-September）. According to the correlation relationship, a transfer function had been used to reconstruct summer temperature for the study area. The explained variance of reconstruction is 51% （F=52.099, p〈0.0001）. In the reconstruction series： before the 1930s, the climate was relatively cold, and relatively warm from 1930 to 1960, this trend was in accordance with the cold-warm period of the last 100 years, west Sichuan. Compared with Chengdu, the warming break point in west Sichuan is 3 years ahead of time, indicating that the Tibetan Plateau was more sensitive to temperature change. There was an evident summer warming signal after 1983. Although the last 100-year running average of summer temperature in the 1990s was the maximum, the running average of the early 1990s was below the average line and it was cold summer, but summer drought occurred in the late 1990s.     

树轮密度对气候的响应及重建研究进展

树轮密度是重建过去气候变化的重要代用指标。过去几十年,国内外学者针对树轮密度开展了大量的研究工作,取得了丰硕的成果。论文收集了国内外有关树轮密度的研究文献,从树轮密度对气候变化的响应和气候重建等方面进行了概述。尽管树轮密度对气候变化的响应可能受到样点的地理位置、地形(如海拔、坡向等)、树种等因素的影响,但湿冷地区树轮晚材最大密度能较好地反映生长季或生长季末期温度变化;而干旱地区的早材平均密度能揭示生长季早期的降水变化。因此,目前大多数研究以重建生长季或生长季末期温度为主,也有重建降水量、海平面气压变化的案例。此外,重建方程的方差解释量存在空间和树种间的差异,但这些差异需要更多的研究工作加以验证。最长的重建序列来自于欧洲,长达2018 a;国内基于树轮密度重建的最长温度序列来自于西南地区,长达449 a。另外,树轮密度序列在对温度响应的分异性问题以及评估强火山喷发的降温效应方面还存在争议。其争议源于树轮密度与温度关系还受到其他环境变量与人为因素的影响,因此今后研究还需关注树轮密度与降水、光照等其他气候变量的关系,同时也要注重树种、海拔、实验方法等非气候因子的影响。     

Climatic response of Picea crassifolia tree-ring parameters and precipitation reconstruction in the western Qilian Mountains, China

Cores of thick leaf spruce from the western Qilian Mountains were subjected to densitometric analysis to obtain data for seven tree-ring parameters (tree-ring width, earlywood width, latewood width, maximum density, minimum density, mean earlywood density and mean latewood density). The chronologies were analyzed individually and then compared with each other. Most of these variables show moderately high values of common variance and mean interseries correlation except latewood and maximum densities. The relationships between the different tree-ring parameters and climate data are also presented. The growth/climate response analyses reveal that the radial growth of thick leaf spruce is the mainly controlled by total annual precipitation (July-June). Herein the residual ring width chronology was used to reconstruct annual (July-June) precipitation of Jiuquan for the period 1768-2009 A.D., and it accounted for 45.0% of the precipitation variance. Multi-taper spectral analysis reveals the existence of significant 11.1-year, 4.9-year, and 2.0- to 3.4-year periods of variability. Spatial analysis shows that the precipitation of Jiuquan has strong common signals for the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and Hexi Corridor. Drought events in our reconstruction are compared to the historical archives and other moisture-sensitive tree ring width series in the Hexi Corridor. The results reveal common climatic extremes over much of the Hexi Corridor. Many of these events have had profound impacts on the peoples of the Hexi Corridor over the past several centuries.     

Two centuries of temperature variation and volcanic forcing reconstructed for the northern Tibetan Plateau

Abstract

The northern Tibetan Plateau has been subject to recent warming far above the global average. With few instrumental climate records available for this region before the 1950s, paleoclimatic reconstructions must be used to understand annual-to-centennial-scale climate variations and local climate response to large-scale forcing mechanisms. We developed a maximum latewood density chronology of Qinghai spruce (Picea crassifolia) from the southern slope of the Qilian Mountains, northern Tibetan Plateau. Based on the chronology, we reconstructed August–September temperature for 1780–2008. The temperature reconstruction model accounts for 39.7% of instrumental temperature variance from 1957 to 2008, successfully capturing the most recent warming. Superposed epoch analysis indicated a volcanic forcing for temperature, resulting in pulses of cooler conditions that can persist for 2–4 years. Tree-ring data indicated that warm-dry and cold-wet climate combinations mainly occurred in northern Tibetan Plateau before CE 1900, and revealed a clear wetting and warming trend since the 1980s. Our study provides long-term perspective on recent climate change in northern Tibetan Plateau to guide expectations of future climate variability and aid sustainable development, and provides scenarios for climate change adaptation and inputs for climate models representing a broader range of conditions than those of historical climate records.     

树木年轮资料的可靠性分析——以陕西华山松为例

依据陕西华山的华山松树木年轮宽度、最大密度与最小密度年表，以及对树木生长模拟结果，本文分析了树木径向生长对气候因子（气温和降水）的响应状况。结果表明树木年轮生长的多种指标均能相互印证，并具有生理学意义，从而证实了它们作为气候变化的代用资料是可靠的。这不仅强调了树木年轮多途径分析的必要性，而且为重建过去气候变化提供了依据。     

哈萨克斯坦东北部310年来初夏温度变化的树轮记录

在哈萨克斯坦东北部的阿尔泰山南坡,位于森林上限的西伯利亚落叶松的树轮宽度对生长季初期温度敏感,且在近年来气候变暖的背景下对温度的响应较为稳定,可以作为该区域温度变化的良好替代材料.利用森林上限区的树轮资料,从树轮宽度中提取初夏温度信息,建立了树轮宽度年表与卡通卡拉盖气象站6月平均温度的转换方程,重建了这一区域310年来的初夏温度变化历史,重建方程的方差解释量达到42.7％.由于校准期较长,利用独立检验方法对重建方程进行检验,各项检验的参数表明重建方程是稳定可靠的.重建序列与相邻的中国阿勒泰地区西部和阿尔泰山北坡树轮反映的温度变化序列的冷暖阶段是一致的,其中19世纪的温度波动较为明显,持续时间最长的冷期(1842-1871年)和暖期(1872-1906年)都出现在这个阶段.重建温度序列存在11a左右的周期,与太阳活动的周期一致.     

Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) Morphology and Climate/Growth Responses Along a Physiographic Gradient in North Carolina

Geographic differences in tree morphology and climate and growth responses of longleaf pine have been documented, yet how these differences vary at a larger scale has not. In this study, we documented changes in tree morphology and climate and radial growth responses of six longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) stands in three physiographic regions in North Carolina. We sampled from more than fifteen trees per stand and compared site- and regional-level total and latewood ring width values to temperature, precipitation, and drought. All morphological characteristics expressed a strong west–east gradient. Climate and radial growth response was strongest for the Sandhills region and then Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions. The distinct morphological characteristic gradient did not covary with climate and radial growth response, suggesting that additional environmental influences affect needle length, trunk diameter, and height.
