inability of temperature sensitive tree-ring width and density chronologies to track increasing …

… key studies published on the divergence problem to date and … of shifts in tree growth
sensitivity identified in tree-ring data … Using a data set of tree-ring width and density chronologies …

… If we assume a temperature history (Fig. 1) and model … For the 1980s and 1990s, where
data exist (not all tree ring data include recent decades) the divergence problem is often …

… the dominant tree species in … divergence problem of this tree species is still limited. This
study conducted correlation analysis between climatic factors and tree-ring width chronologies …

… reconstruction of tree-ring paleoclimate. This article reviews the literature reports on the "divergence
problem" … " to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction of tree-ring climate history. …

… We hypothesize that by careful selection of individual trees (not chronologies) which show
a consistent relationship between growth and climate parameter, this divergence might be …

… We therefore use long instrumental station records and tree-ring density chronologies
including 878 Pinus sylvestris and 126 Picea abies samples. Our results indicate that EDP was …
