Dendroregulation
This study aims to strengthen dendroclimatic research in tropical dry forests by analyzing tree rings from Handroanthus chrysanthus and Bursera graveolens in southern Ecuador. We developed new dendrochronological records to determine the dendroclimatic potential of the species for evaluating the relationship between precipitation and tree growth. Chronologies were correlated with regional climate parameters, as well as with spatial patterns of Se…
Climatic Drivers of Teak (Tectona grandis) Radial Growth with Emphasis on Soil Moisture Variability in Northern Chhattisgarh, Central India
A Dendrochronological study of teak (Tectona grandis) was conducted at two sites in northern Chhattisgarh, central India, and resulted in the development of two tree-ring width chronologies. We examined the relationships between tree-ring chronologies and gridded monthly and daily climate variables (mean temperature, total precipitation and drought indices) as well as monthly soil moisture. We performed spatial correlations using monthly climate …
Ecuadendro 2025
The 1st Ecuadorian Dendrochronology Conference (ECUADENDRO 2025) took place in Daule, Ecuador, on January 23–24, 2025, with the generous sponsorship of the Tree-Ring Society. The event attracted 230 participants from 45 countries, bringing together leading experts in various subfields of tree-ring science, including dendroclimatology, dendroecology, dendrogeomorphology, dendroarchaeology, and cellular dendrochronology. Fifteen international speak…
Modern pollen distribution across Mizoram, northeastern India, impacted by regional climate and anthropogenic activities
Modern pollen-rain analysis was carried out for the first time across central, western and eastern regions of Mizoram, encompassing different regional climatic zones. The vegetation experiences massive ecological pressure as a consequence of environmental factors, including the monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal, high temperature, precipitation conditions, and varied topography. Additionally, intense human activities in the state of Mizoram imp…
Streamflow Reconstruction Using Multi-Taxa Tree-Ring Records from Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh, Western Himalaya
To study the long-term hydroclimate variability in the Satluj Basin, streamflow data was reconstructed using tree-ring width datasets from multiple taxa available from the Kullu Valley, western (Indian) Himalaya. Five ring-width tree-ring chronologies of three conifer tree taxa (Abies pindrow, Cedrus deodara, and Pinus roxburghii) significantly correlate with the streamflow during the southwest monsoon season. Based on this correlation, a 228-yea…
Revisit the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age in Proxy Records from Zemu Glacier Sediments, Eastern Himalaya
The Late Holocene fossil pollen records from the Zemu glacier, located in Yabuk, North Sikkim, in the eastern Himalayas, effectively generated quantitative climate reconstructions based on the transfer function model. The transfer function model was developed by establishing a modern pollen–climate calibration set from the temperate alpine belt of North Sikkim. A redundancy analysis was carried out to detect the pattern of variation of climatic v…
A 307-Year Tree-Ring Spei Reconstruction Indicates Modern Drought in Western Nepal Himalayas
Western Nepal has experienced a severe drought in the past two decades, but observation records across Nepal are too short to place the recent drought in a longer context to understand the full range of natural variability in the climate system. In the present study we have collected tree core samples of Tsuga dumosa from two sites, Chhetti and Ranghadi, in the Api Nampa Conservation Area of the western Nepal Himalayas to understand drought varia…
Resonance of the ‘4.2ka event’ and terminations of global civilizations during the Holocene, in the palaeoclimate records around PT Tso Lake, Eastern Himalaya
August to July Precipitation from Tree Rings in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Central Siberia (Russia)
The goal of this research report is to describe annual precipitation reconstruction from Pinus sylvestris trees on three sites in the Abakan region, located in the Minusinsk Depression, at the confluence of the Yenisei and Abakan Rivers, Russia. The study was performed during the 4th annual international summer course “Tree Rings, Climate, Natural Resources and Human Interaction” held in Abakan, 5-19 August 2013. The reconstruction, for the 12-mo…

Potential for Developing Fire Histories in Chir Pine (Pinus roxburghii) Forests in the Himalayan Foothills
We report on the potential for developing long-term fire histories from chir pine (Pinus roxburghii Sarg.) forests in the Western Himalayan foothills based on a preliminary study from a stand located in the state of Uttarakhand in northern India. Rings from trees collected to develop a master skeleton plot chronology were generally complacent with false rings present during most years, but were crossdatable with only minor difficulty. The oldest …
Atmospheric 14 C Variability Recorded in Tree Rings from Peninsular India
Radiocarbon analysis in annual rings of a teak tree ( Tectona grandis ) is reported in comparison with previously published results. Samples (disks) were collected from Hoshangabad (22°30′N, 78°E), Madhya Pradesh, in central India. The previously published sample was collected from Thane (19°12′N, 73°E), Maharashtra, near the west coast of India (Chakraborty et al. 1994). Two short Δ 14 C time series were reconstructed with these tree samples to …
