Climate-growth relationships of Schrenk spruce and precipitation variability at the high-mountain areas of the northern Tien Shan

Central Asian Journal of Water Research, 2022
This article presents a new tree-ring chronology of Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana Fisch. et Mey.) developed based on the samples collected at the upper tree limit of the northern Tien Shan (southeastern part of Kazakhstan).

Ants from Northwestern China (Hymenoptera, Fomficidae)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 103, Issue 1-2, Page 1-24, 2000., 2000
An ecological survey of the ant fauna of the southern part of the Junggar Basin and adjacent mountains, Xinjiang, China, revealed 46 species of which 27 (59%) were new records for China. Most of the species are widespread and no endemics were found.

The Effect of Elevation on the Population Structure, Spatial Patterning and Intraspecific Interactions of Picea schrenkiana in the Eastern Tianshan Mountains: A Test of the Stress Gradient Hypothesis

, 2023
Changes in age structure, spatial distribution and intraspecific interactions across environmental gradients often reflect adaptations of plant populations to their environment.

Origin and demographic history of the endemic Taiwan spruce (Picea morrisonicola) [PDF]

, 2013
Taiwan spruce (Picea morrisonicola) is a vulnerable conifer species endemic to the island of Taiwan. A warming climate and competition from subtropical tree species has limited the range of Taiwan spruce to the higher altitudes of the island. Using seeds

Water Stress-Induced Divergence Growth of Picea schrenkiana in the Western Tianshan and Its Forcing Mechanisms

, 2023
Since the 1950s, divergence problems have reduced the temporal stability of tree rings in response to climate, shaken the foundations of dendroclimatology, and affected the reliability of reconstructed models based on tree rings and the accuracy of ...

On the ‘Divergence Problem’ in the Alatau Mountains, Central Asia: A Study of the Responses of Schrenk Spruce Tree-Ring Width to Climate under the Recent Warming and Wetting Trend

Atmosphere, 2019
The divergence problem, which manifests as an unstable response relationship between tree-ring growth and climatic factors under the background of global warming, poses a challenge to both the traditional theory of dendroclimatology and the reliability ...

Comparison of drought-sensitive tree-ring records from the Tien Shan of Kyrgyzstan and Xinjiang (China) during the last six centuries

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2017
In this study, tree-ring width data of Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana) from the upper timberline of the Tien Shan (Kyrgyzstan) were analyzed to investigate the effect of climate change.

Tree-ring-based assessments of drought variability during the past 400 years in the Tianshan mountains, arid Central Asia

Ecological Indicators, 2021
In Central Asia, the frequency and severity of droughts have a strong impact on the climate and lives of people. Therefore, it is essential to explore climate change, especially its impacts on the cycle and extent of drought occurrence.
