Abstract：

61 tree-ring cores (10 mm) from 28 Hailar pines (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) were collected at the upper tree lines (51.79°N, 123.08°E, 950 m a.s.l) from the Huzhong National Natural Preserve in North Greater Khingan Mountains in september 2013. The cores were visually cross-dated after they were dried and sanded. 39 tree-ring cores from 22 trees were selected for densitometry analysis. The maximum latewood density (MXD) was obtained by DENDRO 2003 tree-ring densitometry. Each MXD series was fit using 80-year cubic smoothing spline to remove the non-climatic trends. Each detrended index series was calculated as the ratio of the tree-ring value to the corresponding spline curve value of a given year. All index series of tree-ring data from the site were combined into the site chronology using a bi-weight robust mean. Based on the relationship between MXD chronology and climate variables from Mohe meteorological station, July-August mean temperature was reconstructed back to AD 1781 for the North Greater Khingan Mountains. The reconstruction explained 31.1% of the variance in the instrumental period (AD 1959-2013). The dataset includes: (1) geolocation of the sampling site; (2) tree-ring MXD standard chronology; (3) the reconstructed July-August temperature from 1781 to 2013 in North Greater Khingan Mountains, and 11-year smoothing average data; (4) statistics of 39 raw tree-ring MXD measurements. The dataset is archived in .shp and .xlsx data formats, and consists of 9 data files with data size of 27.2 KB (Compressed to one single file with 24 KB).Browse
