Response to Winter Precipitation in Ring-Width Chronologies of Pinus Sylvestris L. from the Northwestern Siberian Plain, Russia
Six mean ring-width tree-ring chronologies were constructed for living Scots pine (Pious sylvestris L.), growing near the species' upper and northern limits in the area between the Ob River and the subpolar Ural Mountains in Russia. All ring-width series were standardized by fitting cubic smoot...
