Is the recent warming unprecedented in the Siberian north?
To answer the question “Has the recent warming no analogues in the Siberian north?” we analyzed larch tree samples (Larix gmelinii Rupr.) from permafrost zone in the eastern Taimyr (TAY) (72ºN, 102ºE) using tree-ring and stable isotope analyses for the Climatic Optimum Period (COP) 4111-3806 BC and...
