Contrasting Radial Growth Responses of Pine and Fir Species to Daily and Monthly Climate Variability in Mexico
Tree growth and its climatic drivers remain poorly understood in subtropical regions. This study compares climate–growth relationships at daily and monthly scales for two conifer genera along an elevation gradient in central Mexico by focusing on examining long-term radial differences to identify species-specific responses to climatic variability. A total of 83 dominant trees were sampled from two elevation ranges for pine and fir populations (28…
Climatic response of Juniperus monticola Martinez, a multi-century alpine shrub from the high mountains of central Mexico
The mountain juniper Juniperus monticola Martinez, a decumbent alpine shrub found at elevations up to 4600 m a.s.l. on the high mountains of central Mexico, is the woody species growing at highest elevation in North America. It reaches an age close to a millenium, which probably makes it the oldest alpine shrub in the world. We conducted a dendrochronological study of this species at Pico de Orizaba volcano, the highest peak in Mexico, to analyze…
Is There a Response Pattern between Radial Growth of Trees and Elevation Gradient?
Improving our understanding of the growth dynamics of trees along elevation gradients could help us predict their potential to store carbon and their vulnerability to changes in local and global environmental conditions, such as deforestation and climate change. This study is a review and analysis of the results obtained in recent dendrochronological studies of the effect of elevation and climate (temperature and precipitation) on the radial grow…
Fire management in pyrobiocultural landscapes, Chiapas, Mexico
Communities in Chiapas are pioneers in fire management; for example, land users have to request burning permits from village organizations, following customary environmental management practices. This article reports on the cultural management of fire by indigenous Antelá and Tziscao communities in and around Lagunas de Montebello National Park, Chiapas, Mexico. It addresses territoriality, memory, regimes and management, and the integration of c…
Climatic Signal in Earlywood and Latewood in Conifer Forests in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
Earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) chronologies can be used to analyze seasonal climatic variation. We constructed and analyzed total ring (RW), EW, and LW ring growth in Abies religiosa and Pinus pseudostrobus trees from the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and evaluated their climatic signal (monthly precipitation and mean average, minimum and maximum temperatures) in the growth of tree rings by correlation and response function analyses. Prec…
Changes in CO 2 Emission Sources in Mexico City Metropolitan Area Deduced from Radiocarbon Concentrations in Tree Rings
We present radiocarbon ( 14 C) in tree rings from Mexico City and a reconstruction of fossil CO 2 concentrations for the last five decades, as part of a research program to understand the 14 C dynamics in this complex urban area. Background values were established by 14 C concentrations in tree rings from a nearby clean area. Agreement between background and NH-zone 2 values indicate Taxodium mucronatum is a good biomonitor for annual atmospheric…
The Relationship Between Earlywood and Latewood Ring-Growth Across North America
The relationship between earlywood width (EW) and latewood width (LW) is investigated using 197 tree-ring collections representing several tree species from across the North American continent. Chronologies of LW have limited paleoclimate value when they have low variance or very high correlation with EW from the same site. The correlation of LW and EW can be removed by taking the residuals from linear regression to provide a chronology of discre…
North American megadroughts in the Common Era
During the Medieval Climate Anomaly ( MCA ), Western North America experienced episodes of intense aridity that persisted for multiple decades or longer. These megadroughts are well documented in many proxy records, but the causal mechanisms are poorly understood. General circulation models ( GCMs ) simulate megadroughts, but do not reproduce the temporal clustering of events during the MCA , suggesting they are not caused by the time history of …
Temporal and Spatial Variations of Atmospheric Radiocarbon in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area
The Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) produces a complex mixture of gases and aerosols from diverse sources, including burning of fossil fuels, biomass, and wastes, with a significant biogenic contribution. We present the first results of ongoing projects to study temporal and spatial variations of 14 CO 2 in the area. Temporal variations reconstructed from tree rings of Taxodium mucronatum indicate a considerable radiocarbon depletion, in acc…
Dendrochronological Potential of Fraxinus Uhdei and Its Use as Bioindicator of Fossil CO 2 Emissions Deduced from Radiocarbon Concentrations in Tree Rings
Dendrochronological studies are limited in tropical regions because not many tree species form annual growth rings. This work reports an evaluation of the dendrochronological potential of tropical ash ( Fraxinus uhdei ) and its use as a bioindicator of fossil CO 2 concentration in urban areas by means of radiocarbon analysis on growth rings. We analyzed a cross-section of a tree that grew during the period 1932–2007 in San Luis Potosí, one of the…
Forced Migration, Climate Change, Mitigation and Adaptive Policies in Mexico
Natural disasters related to hydro‐meteorological events have increased during the last few decades, both in frequency and severity. Mexico is heavily exposed to climate change, but has also suffered in the past from climate variability ( Blümel, 2009 ). The new risks oblige the government to develop mitigation processes, while the affected people are implementing strategies of adaptation and resilience‐building, mostly at the family and communit…
Modern Radiocarbon Levels for Northwestern Mexico Derived from Tree Rings
The radiocarbon variation for northwestern Mexico during the period 1950–2004 was studied by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and liquid scintillation counting (LSC) analyses of tree rings. Two tree-ring sequences of Pseudotsuga menziesii, sampled in a site isolated from urban centers and active volcanoes (26.18°N, 106.3°W, 3000 m asl), were dendrochronologically dated and separated in annual rings prior to 14 C analysis. Results obtained show…
