Climate change is affecting global natural resources, including forests. It has also affected
the Indian Himalayan forests by influencing ecosystem services derived from it. The majority …

Recent developments in tree-ring research offer great potential for reconstructing past
climate changes; determining the frequencies of natural hazards; and assessing the …

The Kashmir region in the western Himalayas is located in a transition zone between areas
dominated by the South Asian Summer Monsoon (SASM) and the North Atlantic Oscillation …

Aims Rapid warming at high altitudes may lead to a higher sensitivity in tree growth to
temperature. The key factors constraining tree radial growth and to what extent regional tree …

Himalayan Mountains provide unique opportunities for the extension of shrub-ring based
dendroclimatology beyond the upper tree limit. However, little is known about limiting …

The Himalayan glaciers, as unique reservoirs of freshwater for densely populated Asian
countries, have been receiving considerable attention in public and scientific research …

Tree rings are widely used to reconstruct past climates in regions where observational
records of climate are short. In this study, we developed a 294 years-long (1718–2011 CE) …

Ongoing climate change can have varying impacts on tree growth within the growing season
and across their elevation ranges, with important implications for forest ecosystem functions …

Abstract The Hindu Kush high-altitude regions of Pakistan are currently experiencing severe
consequences as a result of global warming. In this sense, increasing soil erosion and the …

Key message The growth of Shorea robusta is positively correlated with temperature,
whereas the relation to moisture is weak. Abstract Tree-ring analyses provide a rich archive …
