Dendrochronological studies include tree ring records as high resolution proxies for investigating response of climatic changes in tree radial growth. Tree rings from Himalyan region are highly important which is associated with diverse climate variation modulated by great altitudinal gradient in Himalayas. My studies in more than six different plant species including conifers and broadleaved trees broadly indicated that the radial growth is mainly conrolled by temperature related moisture in early growth season (March-May) in Himalaya, however there is site and species specific growth sensitivity. More particularly, the trees in altitudinal treelines are more sensitive to temperature, while those of timberline and even at low elevation (sub-tropical, temperature) show higher sensitivity to moisture. Warming temperatures, mainly day temperature (Tmax) is increasing more rapidly in entire Himalayan region (exceeding global average) and this has elevated evapotranspiration trend causing moisture limitation for tree radial growth. Hence it can be cocluded that the future trajectories of tree growth pattern is highly dependent on intensity of warming temperature and monsoon seasonality associated with overall precipitation trend. Further, tree radial growth at temperate and sub-tropical region in Himalaya is also influenced by forest level disturbance factors including human interference in forest management trends. More specified investigations on tree ring isotope analysis, wood anatomy and multi species response to climate variation are yet to be carried out for Himalayan region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaker:<\/strong> Dr. Achyut Tiwari<\/p>\n<p><strong>Affiliation: <\/strong>Tribhuvan University Nepal<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 4:30 PM, Tuesday, Jan.10, 2023<\/p>\n<p><strong>Venue: <\/strong>ZOOM \u4f1a\u8bae\u5e73\u53f0 \u4f1a\u8bae ID\uff1a312 430 8960 \u4f1a\u8bae\u5bc6\u7801 PWD\uff1a666666\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ZOOM<br \/>\u4f1a\u8bae ID\uff1a312 430 8960<br \/>\u4f1a\u8bae\u5bc6\u7801 PWD\uff1a666666<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Dr. Achyut Tiwari<br \/>\nAffiliation: Tribhuvan University Nepal<br \/>\nTime: 4:30 PM, Tuesday, Jan.10, 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3189,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3188"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3188"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3190,"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3188\/revisions\/3190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/seminar.xtbg.ac.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
