The Earth has experienced an unequivocal warming, with the warmest period of the past
150 years occurring in the last three decades. Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), a key tree …

Tree-ring analysis provides an effective way to detect complex responses of trees to climate
warming and has been extensively used in ecological studies; however, there is often a lack …

Winter snow plays a crucial role in regulating tree growth during the subsequent growing
season in regions suffering seasonal or even annual drought stress, but the mechanisms of …

Background The relationship between climate and radial growth of trees exhibits spatial
variation due to environmental changes. Therefore, elucidation of how the growth–climate …

Accurately assessing the impact of climate changes on tree growth or forest productivity is
vital to better understand global carbon cycles. Here, we carried out dendroclimatological …

The impact of climatic change on forest ecosystems has received considerable attention, but
our understanding of the modulation of this impact by elevational differences and by species …

Tree‐ring chronologies from bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) are a unique proxy used to
understand climate variability over the middle to late Holocene. The annual rings from trees …

Different tree species growing in the same area may have different, or even contrasting
growth responses to climate change. Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) and Mongolia oak …

Abstract Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.) is a highly ecological and economic
species due to its rarity, varied usage and favorable effect on the environment. To better …
