TL;DR: In this article, the authors established a database of precipitation δ18O and used different models to evaluate the climatic controls of precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), revealing three distinct domains associated with the influence of the westerlies (northern TP), Indian monsoon (southern TP), and transition in between.

TL;DR: It is shown that drought legacy effects on vegetation growth differ markedly between forests, shrubs and grass across diverse bioclimatic conditions over the temperate Northern Hemisphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the potential of tree-ring cellulose d18O and d13C records for reconstructing climate variability in the southeast Tibetan Plateau and show that intra and inter-tree variability is negligible, and intertree coherence is sufficient to build robust treering d18 o or d13 c chronologies based on only four trees.

TL;DR: In this paper, a tree-ring δ18O chronology of Linzhi spruce, spanning from AD 1781 to 2005, was developed in Bomi, Southeast Tibetan Plateau (TP).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used tree-ring width chronologies of Abies squamata and Sabina squamat to detect a long-term persistent warming trend, starting in the 1820s, at a rate of 0.45 ± 0.09°C/century (1820−2009).
