Unprecedented heatwave-drought concurrences in the past two decades have been reported over inner East Asia. Tree-ring-based reconstructions of heatwaves and soil moisture for 260 years reveal an abrupt shift to hotter drier climate this region. Enhanced land-atmosphere coupling, associated with persistent deficit, appears intensify surface warming anticyclonic circulation anomalies, fueling that exacerbate drying. Our analysis demonstrates magnitude warm dry anomalies compounding recent is...
Abstract China is a key region for understanding fire activity and the drivers of its variability under strict suppression policies. Here, we present detailed occurrence dataset China, Wildfire Atlas (WFAC; 2005–2018), based on continuous monitoring from multiple satellites calibrated against field observations. We find that wildfires across mostly occur in winter season January to April those occurrences generally show decreasing trend after reaching peak 2007. Most (84%) subtropical with...
Smoke and particulate matter released from forest fires, affecting the photosynthetic rate stomatal conductance, may change isotope composition in tree rings. Therefore, analysis of tree-ring isotopes could be a promising approach to monitor fires. We hypothesized that fires influence abundance carbon (δ 13 C), oxygen 18 O) nitrogen 15 N) radial growth rings conifers through their impact on physiological processes. collected wood cores four coniferous species northern southern China. The...
Abstract We have reconstructed the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) from 1618 to 2005 for Guiqing Mountain area, north central China, using tree rings of Pinus tabulaeformis . The reconstruction explains 49% actual PDSI variance during common period 1951–2005. is representative moisture conditions over a large area south and east sampling site, core 1997 severe drought. It shows slightly different variations when compared other available reconstructions west sites. drought epoch since...
Abstract. The Nordic Centre of Excellence CRAICC (Cryosphere–Atmosphere Interactions in a Changing Arctic Climate), funded by NordForsk the years 2011–2016, is largest joint research and innovation initiative to date, aiming strengthen regarding climate change issues region. gathered more than 100 scientists from all countries virtual centre with objectives identifying quantifying major processes controlling warming related feedback mechanisms, outlining strategies mitigate warming,...
Previous tree ring based hydrologic studies in Mongolia have been regional scale. Here, we present a large‐scale summer drought reconstruction for that reveals the main moisture patterns of past. This is on network chronologies span country. The resulting model explains 61% variance and extended to cover 1520–1993 by using nested approach modeling. Severe droughts harsh winter conditions occurred from ∼1999–2002 contributed massive livestock mortality economic loss. These were extreme...
Increases in terrestrial water-use efficiency (WUE) have been reported many studies, pointing to potential changes physiological forcing of global carbon and hydrological cycles. However, gains WUE are uncertain magnitude over longer (i.e. >10 years) periods time largely owing difficulties accounting for structural acclimation. 13 C signatures δ13 C) plant organic matter long used estimate at temporal scales ranging from days centuries. Mesophyll conductance is a key uncertainty estimated...
Investigations of climate–growth interactions can shed light on the response forest growth to climate change and dendroclimatic reconstructions. However, most existing studies in climatically important Tibetan Plateau (TP) surrouding regions focus linear responses environmental variation. Herein we investigated both nonlinear for 152 tree-ring chronologies TP vicinity. We introduced boosted regression tree (BRT) technique study relationships by pooling several sites with similar mitigate...

Abstract The Yellow River flow has decreased substantially in recent decades, and the river often dried up lower reach failed to sea. Climate change human disruption have been suggested as major causes of reduction, but quantification their relative contribution is challenging due limited instrumental records disturbance by dams. Here we use a basin‐wide tree ring network reconstruct for past 1,200 years show that exhibits marked amplitude variations are closely coupled hydrological mean...
