We reconstruct 472 years of moisture availability for the NYC watershed to place these emergencies in long-term hydroclimatic context. Using nested reconstruction techniques, 32 tree-ring chronologies comprised of 12 species account for up to 66.2% of the average May-August Palmer Drought Severity Index. Verification statistics indicate good statistical skill from 1531-2003. The use of multiple tree species, including rarely-used species that can sometimes occur on mesic sites like Liriodendron tulipifera, Betula lenta and Carya spp., seems to aid reconstruction skill. Importantly, the reconstruction captures pluvial events in the instrumental record nearly as well as drought events and is significantly correlated to precipitation over much of the northeastern US. While the mid-1960s drought is a severe drought in the context of the new reconstruction, the region experienced repeated droughts of similar intensity, but greater duration during the 16th and 17th centuries. The full record reveals a trend towards more pluvial conditions since ca 1800 that is accentuated by an unprecedented, 43-year pluvial event that continues through 2011. In the context of the current pluvial, decreasing water usage, but increasing extra-urban pressures, it appears that the water supply system for the greater NYC region could be severely stressed if the current water boom shifts towards hydroclimatic regimes like the 16th and 17th centuries. STUDY NOTES: Most of this collection of BELE raw ring widths was made by # N. Pederson above a small stream in the rolling terrain of # the Mohonk preserve near New Paltz, NY. These data were # collected for a dendroecological study of southern temperate # trees growing at or near a northern range margin. # While the oldest trees in the stand were targeted, the goal # of field sampling was to collect a range of existing tree ages # within the stand. The stand in which they are sampled has decent # soil depth. At the time of sampling, the forest was fairly dense. # Because of this, detrending of these raw data should be conducted # with closed-canopy or forest interior conditions and forest # disturbance in mind. # # A smaller portion of this collection was made in the early 1970s # by E. R. Cook. These trees were living on and near the Humpty Dumpty # talus slope in the Mohonk Preserve, one of the premier dendroclimatic # sites in the eastern US. This collection contains the oldest-known # B. lenta to date. NOAA Template Raw Measurements file added 2019-02-08.
