Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tree rings have made rapid progress over the past circa three decades in China. Among the subfields of tree ring studies, dendroclimatology is the one that has developed the fastest. Whether in terms of tree ring proxies, i.e., width, density, stable isotopes, etc., or research regions, i.e., the Asian monsoon region or the westly dominated region, excellent results have been achieved. During the process, some problems, such as divergence, and the stability of the relationship between tree ring proxies and climatic factors, etc., have arisen. Therefore, (1) the relationships between tree ring proxies and climatic factors should be more carefully investigated; (2) state-of-the-art reconstructions are needed to improve the reconstruction quality; and (3) how the climate in China is influenced by large-scale circulation patterns should be further investigated.
