Abstract:
This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
(NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Tree
Ring. The data include parameters of tree ring with a geographic location of Nepal, Southcentral Asia. The
time period coverage is from 105 to -62 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for
parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
Purpose:
Tree ring data from the International Tree Ring Data Bank and World Data Center for Paleoclimatology archives.
Most data sets include raw treering measurements (most are annual ring width, with some collections of
earlywood or latewood width or wood density), plus chronologies (standardized growth indices for a site
compiled from multiple treering samples). Reconstructions of climate variables are included with some of
these data sets. Each data type is stored in a separate data file; the data type is coded into the file
name. For details please see: http://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/paleoclimatology/tree-ring

ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: In mountainous areas including the Himalayas, tree lines are expected to
advance to higher altitudes due to global climate change affecting the distribution and growth of plant
species. This study aimed at identifying the tree ring variability of Abies spectabilis (D. Don) and its
response to the climate along an elevation gradient in the high Himalayas of central Nepal. Tree core
samples were collected from four sites in Mustang district. All sites were located in the same valley and
exposed to similar weather conditions. Out of 232 samples collected from the sites, Titi lower (2700 m),
Titi upper (2900 m), Pangukhark (3100 m) and Lete upper (3300 m), 44, 40, 39 and 41 series were successfully
cross-dated and ring-width chronologies including 168, 79, 138 and 156 years previous to 2012 were
developed, respectively. Statistically significant differences in average annual radial growth were noted
among the four sites with the highest radial growth observed at mid-elevation sites. Chronological
statistics based on residual chronologies for the common period revealed that A. spectabilis at the upper
elevation site was more climate sensitive than at the other three sites. At the highest-elevation sites the
correlation between pre-monsoon precipitation and tree growth was positive, and for the month of May this
was statistically significant (p<0.05). Moreover, spring temperature (March-June) was negatively correlated
with precipitation and with tree growth at all sites, and at the upper elevation site (3300 m) the
correlation was significant for March, April and May.
