Abstract

An international summer course in dendrochronology, ‘‘Tree Rings, Climate, Natural Resources, and Human Interaction’’, was held in Amman, Jordan, in summer 2023. Drs. Ramzi Touchan and David M. Meko from the University of Arizona Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research were course instructors. The course, with 10 students from Jordan, Algeria, Tunisia, Pakistan, Greece, and the USA, included training in core-sample collection, sample preparation, crossdating, detrending, and climate signal identification. Students applied their training in group precipitation reconstruction projects. Fifty-two Pinus halepensis core samples were collected at Dibeen Forest Reserve, Jordan, which were used to develop a tree-ring chronology (1925–2022) and then used for the reconstruction models. Two reconstructions extended precipitation for Dibeen using: (1) measured October-April precipitation data (R2adj. = 0.63), and (2) gridded November-April precipitation data (R2adj. = 0.61). A third reconstruction used the Dibeen chronology and three low-elevation tree-ring chronologies in Cyprus to extend gridded December–April precipitation data for the eastern Mediterranean region (R2adj. = 0.55). Results from the class projects demonstrated the success of reconstruction techniques in regions with sparse measured climate data and tree-ring chronologies. Future training classes in these regions will also promote the importance of understanding historic climate variability, which is essential for water resource managers and planners.

利用约旦和东地中海地区的树环年表重建降水量
2023 年夏季,在约旦安曼举办了题为 "树木年轮、气候、自然资源和人类互动 "的国际树木年代学夏季课程。亚利桑那大学树环研究实验室的 Ramzi Touchan 博士和 David M. Meko 博士担任课程讲师。来自约旦、阿尔及利亚、突尼斯、巴基斯坦、希腊和美国的 10 名学生参加了该课程,培训内容包括核心样本采集、样本制备、交叉定年、去趋势和气候信号识别。学生们在小组降水重建项目中应用了培训内容。在约旦迪宾森林保护区采集了 52 个 Pinus halepensis 核心样本,用于编制树环年表(1925-2022 年),然后用于重建模型。两个重建模型扩展了迪宾的降水量:(1) 10 月至 4 月的实测降水量数据 (R2adj. = 0.63) 和 (2) 11 月至 4 月的网格降水量数据 (R2adj. = 0.61)。第三次重建使用了迪宾年代学和塞浦路斯的三个低海拔树环年代学,以扩展地中海东部地区 12 月至 4 月的网格降水数据(R2adj.)培训班项目的结果表明,重建技术在实测气候数据和树环年表稀少的地区取得了成功。今后在这些地区举办的培训班还将宣传了解历史气候变异性的重要性,这对水资源管理者和规划者至关重要。

期刊介绍: Tree-Ring Research (TRR) is devoted to papers dealing with the growth rings of trees and the applications of tree-ring research in a wide variety of fields, including but not limited to archaeology, geology, ecology, hydrology, climatology, forestry, and botany. Papers involving research results, new techniques of data acquisition or analysis, and regional or subject-oriented reviews or syntheses are considered for publication. Scientific papers usually fall into two main categories. Articles should not exceed 5000 words, or approximately 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, including tables, references, and an abstract of 200 words or fewer. All manuscripts submitted as Articles are reviewed by at least two referees. Research Reports, which are usually reviewed by at least one outside referee, should not exceed 1500 words or include more than two figures. Research Reports address technical developments, describe well-documented but preliminary research results, or present findings for which the Article format is not appropriate. Book or monograph Reviews of 500 words or less are also considered. Other categories of papers are occasionally published. All papers are published only in English. Abstracts of the Articles or Reports may be printed in other languages if supplied by the author(s) with English translations.
