...Because of the overall lower temperature response of spruce, the remaining limitation of this species is a poorer estimation of temperature fluctuations, in line with previous results from Europe (Frank & Esper, 2005a; Wilson et al., 2005; Büntgen et al., 2006c) and the boreal forest (Lloyd & Bunn, 2007)....

...Dendroclimatic reconstruction of spring–summer precipitation and summer temperature using tree-ring data has been carried out for Bavarian Forest region and Central Europe (Wilson et al. 2005a,b)....

...For example, in mountainous regions in Europe, tree-ring growth at high-elevation sites was correlated with temperature, whereas growth at low-elevation sites was correlated with precipitation (Slåstad 1957; Dittmar and Elling 1999; Mäkinen et al. 2002b; Wilson et al. 2005a)....

...Several studies have suggested that if possible climate warming is not accompanied by increased precipitation, rising temperatures could have a detrimental effect on forest ecosystems in Central Europe, arising from increased evapotranspiration and water deficits (Mäkinen et al. 2002b)....

...These methods were chosen as they were either typically used (HUG, EXP) for detrending of high latitude TRW and MXD data (e.g., Schweingruber et al., 1979; Jacoby & D’Arrigo, 1989, 1995; Schweingruber & Briffa, 1995, 1996a; Briffa et al., 1998; Wilson et al., 2005; Helama et al., 2008), or represent techniques that preserve varying low frequency variability (RCS, SPL) in resulting tree-ring chronologies (e....

...The problem that arises with existing living chronologies in the Alpine region, however, is that the usable length (i.e. the period where the signal-to-noise ratio is high (Wigley et al. 1984)) of some of the series is relatively short....

...For example, the 1810– 1825 period, which is consistently cool in all the reconstruction time series, coincides with a period of low solar irradiance (the Dalton minimum; Stuiver 1961; Bard et al. 2000; Beer et al. 2000; Bond et al. 2001; Robertson et al. 2001) and high volcanic activity (e....
