Climate sensitivity of European larch in the French Maritime Alps

Описание:
A better understanding of past climate variations is the key for improved predictions of future climate. Considering the last millennium, tree-ring data are major proxies in climate reconstructions. They provide annually resolved information often combined with considerable temporal length and have moreover a wide geographical distribution. A site with very old trees is found in the French Maritime Alps. At its Mediterranean margin, these larches are able to reach an age of up to 1000 years probably belonging to the oldest larches of Europe. They are situated in a region very vulnerable to climate change since extended heat waves and changed precipitation pattern seem to be already established in the Mediterranean. Therefore, this area is of special climatological interest. Based on tree-ring width chronologies from high-elevation sites in this region, the author Thomas Neuenschwander analyzes growth trends and climate sensitivity of larch (Larix decidua Mill.) and assesses their...Похожие книги
