Abstract In September 2016, the annual meeting of International Union for Quaternary Research’s Loess and Pedostratigraphy Focus Group, traditionally referred to as a LoessFest, met in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA. The 2016 LoessFest focused on “thin” loess deposits transportation surfaces. This included 75 registered participants from 10 countries. Almost half were outside United States, 18 students. review is introduction special issue Research that originated presentations discussions at...
Silver birch trees (Betula pendula Roth) are a pioneering species in post-industrial habitats, and have been associated with an expansive breeding strategy low habitat requirements. We conducted ecophysiological dendroclimatological studies to check whether there any features of which the modification enables colonise extreme habitats successfully. characterised efficiency photosynthetic apparatus, gas exchange, content pigments leaves, growth (leaf thickness tree-ring width) on post-coal...
Dendrochronological methods were used to determine the frequency of debris flow/avalanche events in a forest zone. A flow and avalanche track located Eastern Sudetes Mountains (Central Europe) was analysed. The length youngest is about 750 m. Three distinct sections can be identified along longitudinal section: niche, gully tongue. dendrochronological study shows that trees started growing on margins between 1908 1963. Hence, and/or occurred this slope at turn 19<sup>th</sup>...
Changes in the supply of water and sediment to high‐latitude rivers related contemporary climate change glacier fluctuations largely determine activity fluvial processes.

We use a combination aerial photograph interpretation, field mapping dendrochronological analysis. Sequences abandoned channels glacifluvial terraces are distinctly...
Greater warmth and precipitation over the past several decades in High Arctic, as recorded meteorological data, have caused shrub expansion affected growth ring widths. The main aim of study was to develop a tree-ring chronology polar willow (<i>Salix polaris</i> Wahlenb.) from southwest Spitsbergen, attempt explain its extreme pointer years (extremely low value growth-ring widths) demonstrate dendrochronological potential this species. This plant is deciduous, prostrate,...
Abstract Given the reported increasing trends in high Asian streamflow and rapidly water demand Indian subcontinent, it is necessary to understand long‐term changes mechanisms of snow- glacier-melt-driven this area. Thus, we have developed a June–July reconstruction for upper Indus River watershed located northern Pakistan. This used temperature-sensitive tree-ring width chronology Pinus wallichiana , explained 40.9% actual variance during common period 1970–2008. The level (1990–2017)...
This paper reports on a detailed dendrochronological and dendroclimatological study of juniper trees (Juniperus seravschanica Kom. J. semiglobosa Regel), sampled at seven sites having different elevations (2200 – 3100 m) exposures (south-north) in the Pamir-Alay mountains, north-western Tajikistan. We developed new, well-replicated ring-width chronologies extending back over last 219–1320 years. Our results confirm that main climate factor influencing radial growth this semi-arid region is...
This study investigates the potential reconstruction of summer monsoon season streamflow variations in middle reaches Yellow River from tree rings Qinling Mountains. The regional chronology is significantly positively correlated with July–October 1919 to 1949, and derived explains 36.4% actual variance during this period. High streamflows occurred 1644–1757, 1795–1806, 1818–1833, 1882–1900, 1909–1920 1933–1963. Low 1570–1643, 1758–1794, 1807–1817, 1834–1868, 1921–1932 1964–2012. low...
Abstract Tundra vegetation dynamics are an excellent indicator of Arctic climate change. In many places in the Arctic, greening tundra has been observed since 1980s due to rapid increases temperature. However, some areas opposite process taken place connection with a reduction biomass production. The spatial patterns ‘greening’ and ‘browning’ constitute important issues contemporary analysis polar ecosystems. aim our study was assess recent on basis changes annual growth ring widths willow....
Dendrochronological methods were used to determine talus cone activity in the Arctic area. Talus cones are one of most characteristic geomorphological features Svalbad Archipelago. Two species dwarf shrubs, Salix polaris and reticulata, which belong Willow family (Salicaceae), collected from two located SW Spitsbergen Island. Th ese small creeping shrubs (less than 10 cm tall with stem diameters ranging 0.5 1.1 cm) have well developed tree-rings allow them be for dendrochronological...
