摘要
全球变暖的影响遍及不同的森林生物群落,在喜马拉雅山等高山生态系统中最为明显。本研究考察了不丹喜马拉雅山脉中部布姆唐地区蓝松(Pinus wallichiana)的生长对气候的响应。树木径向生长参数(环宽指数和基部面积增量)与月度和日气候相关。利用运行相关性评估了重要气候响应的时间变化。无论树木生长参数或气候变量的时间分辨率如何,生长-气候响应都表明夏季最高气温是调节不丹中部 P. wallichiana 生长的最重要气候因子。使用不受非生物日历月份限制的每日气候时,气候响应的强度和稳定性都有所提高。在 21 世纪之交,我们观察到径向生长迅速上升。在过去约 30 年中,不丹中部的蓝松受益于夏季最高气温的升高。这项研究强调了考虑每日气候变量对于更准确地评估树木生长对气候反应的重要性。这些发现对于了解气候变化对喜马拉雅地区森林的影响具有重要意义。
Increasing growth sensitivity of Pinus wallichiana to summer season maximum temperature – evidence from central Bhutan Himalaya
The impacts of global warming are pervasive across different forest biomes and are most pronounced in high mountain ecosystems such as the Himalayas. This study examines the growth response of Blue pine (Pinus wallichiana) to climate from Bumthang district in the central Bhutan Himalaya. Tree radial growth parameters (ring width index and basal area increment) were correlated with monthly and daily climate. Temporal changes in significant climate response were assessed using running correlations. Irrespective of tree growth parameters or temporal resolution of climatic variables, growth-climate response revealed maximum temperature during summer as the most significant climatic factor regulating the growth of P. wallichiana in central Bhutan. The strength and stability of the climate response improved when using daily climate, which is not restricted by non-biological calendar months. Around the turn of the 21st century, we observed a rapid rise in radial growth. Over the last ~30 years, blue pine from central Bhutan has benefited from warming summer season maximum temperatures. This study highlights the importance of considering daily climate variables for more accurate assessments of tree growth responses to climate. These findings have significant implications for understanding the impact of climate change on forests in the Himalayan region.
