Here, we report the first three century-long regional summer (JulyAugust) SM reconstruction for the southeastern TP during 16912007 CE using a paleoclimate proxy, i.e., tree-ring ´18O. The SM reconstruction, which explained 60.9% of the actual variance, revealed that an abrupt wet-to-dry change occurred in 1884. After 1884, SM exhibited a decreasing trend and enhanced variability, and dry summers occurred more frequently. In particular, the variability in SM reached an unprecedented level after the 1950s relative to that during the past three centuries. A structural equation model and running correlation analysis revealed that SM variation was mainly controlled by precipitation rather than temperature. This indicates that the anthropogenic-related weakening of the Indian summer monsoon played a more dominant role in SM changes after 1884 than the increase in temperature. If the SM variability is to be further increased in the future, it may undermine ecosystem stability and forest health. The results of this study are significant for predicting ecological drought in ecologically vulnerable regions such as the High Asia.","pubRank":"1"}],"site":[{"NOAASiteId":"59824","siteName":"Central Southeastern Tibetan Plateau","siteCode":null,"mappable":"N","locationName":"Continent>Asia>Eastern Asia>China","geo":{"geoType":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"POLYGON","coordinates":["28","32","94","98"]},"properties":{"southernmostLatitude":"28","northernmostLatitude":"32","westernmostLongitude":"94","easternmostLongitude":"98","minElevationMeters":null,"maxElevationMeters":null}},"paleoData":[{"dataTableName":"SE Tibetan Plateau Soil Moisture Wang2023","NOAADataTableId":"50307","earliestYear":1691,"mostRecentYear":2007,"timeUnit":"CE","earliestYearBP":259,"mostRecentYearBP":-57,"earliestYearCE":1691,"mostRecentYearCE":2007,"coreLengthMeters":null,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/reconstructions/asia/wang2023/wang2023-soil.txt","urlDescription":"NOAA Template File","linkText":"Soil Moisture Reconstruction","variables":[{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|TREE RING","cvWhat":"age variable>age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>year Common Era","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Year_CE"},{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|TREE RING","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate quantity>soil moisture","cvMaterial":"reconstruction material>isotope ratio>delta 18O","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"area density unit>kilogram per square meter","cvSeasonality":"2-month period>Jul-Aug","cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Soil_moisture"}],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>reconstructions"]}]}]}],"reference":{"pastThesaurusSkos":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf","pastThesaurusExplorer":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/cvterms","gcmdKeywordThesaurus":"https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords"},"dataLicenseDescription":null,"dataLicenseUrl":null}
