People, Fire, and Pine
The creation and modification of landscape patterns through interactions among people and the environment is a defining focus in the discipline of geography. Here, we contribute to that tradition by placing 500 years of red pine (Pinus resinosa) tree-ring data in the context of archaeological, ethnographic, and paleoecological records to describe patterns of Anishinaabeg land use and fire occurrence in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (B…
Faces in the Wilderness
New dates from culturally modified red pine rediscovered in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota provide an opportunity to merge tree-ring records of human land use with archaeological records, historical travel accounts, and traditional knowledge to enhance understanding of Anishinaabeg land tenure in the Wilderness. Records from 244 culturally modified trees (CMTs) demonstrate varying intensities of human use along hi…
Culturally Modified Red Pine, Birch-Bark Canoes, and the Strategic Geography of the Fur Trade on Lake Saganaga, Minnesota, U.S.A
Pacific Climate Forcing of Multidecadal Springtime Minimum Temperature Variability in the Western United States
Trends toward an earlier spring season onset in the western United States have been increasingly documented and are of interest to many different users of climate information throughout the region. Studies, however, have not adequately quantified the variability of spring season temperatures on multidecadal time scales. This study examines the spatio-temporal variability of spring season minimum temperatures in the western United States as a func…
Ecological Disaster or the Limits of Observation? Reconciling Modern Declines with the Long-Term Dynamics of Whitebark Pine Communities
The history of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) forests over the past century exemplifies modern environmental change and the particular challenges faced in reconciling the scales of human observation with long-term ecological changes. A number of factors are implicated in driving observed declines in whitebark pine populations including fire suppression, climate change, the exotic pathogenCronartium ribicolaand associated white pine blister rus…
Multiscale Influences of Climate on Upper Treeline Dynamics in the Southern Rocky Mountains, USA
We examined the influence of twentieth-century climate on upper treeline dynamics in the southern Rocky Mountains to better understand the role of temperature and precipitation on tree establishment and to determine whether bioclimatic thresholds have been exceeded as a result of warming during the twentieth century. By using dendrochronological techniques, we reconstructed tree establishment at upper treeline on six mountain peaks within the Fro…
An Assessment of the Dendroclimatic Potential of Three Conifer Species in Northern Minnesota
Ring-width chronologies from Pinus resinosa Ait., Pinus strobus L., and Thuja occidentalis L. were developed in two areas of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to assess their growth-climate response and their potential for developing reconstructions of climate. New red pine chronologies were combined with existing chronologies to extend the ring-width record both into the past and into the present. Ring-width response to climate, assessed…
Reconstructed summer temperature in the northern Rocky Mountains wilderness, USA
Ring widths from whitebark pine ( Pinus albicaulis Englem.) and subalpine larch ( Larix lyallii Parl.) collected at three high-elevation sites were used to develop tree-growth chronologies to reconstruct summer temperature anomalies. A step-wise multiple regression procedure was used to screen potential predictor variables to generate a transfer function capable of skillfully reconstructing summer temperature. The resulting regression model expla…
Complexity of Successional Pathways in Subalpine Forests of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area
We examined forest structure and composition in four watersheds in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area, Idaho and Montana, to better understand the complexity of successional processes following stand-replacing fires in subalpine forest ecosystems. Dendrochronological analyses of more than 1,100 trees were used to identify the timing of establishment of major forest species at sites that had experienced different intervals since the last fire. …
