Zusammenfassung |
Climate records from remote mountain sites and for century-long periods are
usually lacking for most continents and also for the European Alps. However,
detailed reconstructions of climate parameters for pre-instrumental periods
in mountain areas, suffering of glacial retreat caused by recent global
warming, are needed in the view of a better comprehension of the
environmental dynamics. We present here the first annually-resolved
reconstruction of summer (JJA) mean temperature for the Adamello–Presanella
Group (Central European Alps), one of the most glaciated mountain groups of
the Italian Central Alps. The reconstruction has been based on four larch
tree-ring width chronologies derived from living trees sampled in four
valleys surrounding the Group. The reconstruction spans from 1610 to 2008
and the statistical verification of the reconstruction demonstrates the
positive skill of the tree-ring dataset in tracking summer temperature
variability also in the recent period. |
