Mongolian Tree Rings and 20th-Century Warming
A 450-year tree-ring width chronology of Siberian pine ( Pinus sibirica Du Tour) growing at timberline (2450 meters) in the Tarvagatay Mountains in west central Mongolia shows wide annual growth rings for the recent century. Ecological site observations and comparisons with instrumental temperature...
