Tree rings revealed the impact of soil temperature on larch growth in the Siberian forest-steppe

Our laboratory analyzed the response of Siberian larch growth in three forest-steppe habitats to fluctuations in soil temperature at different depths, air temperature and precipitation with daily time resolution. The tree-ring chronologies were compared with the climatic series of two meteorological stations at distances up to 100 km, and a strong negative effect of the temperatures within the main root-inhabited soil layer on tree growth in May-July was found. It was confirmed that despite the mosaic nature of the soil cover, the soil temperature series at meteorological stations are no less applicable in dendroclimatic analysis than the commonly used atmospheric climate data.

An article based on the results of the study, published in the international scientific journal Forests, caught the eye of scientific news Internet portals Naked scienceEcoPortal and others.
