The associated NCEI study type is Tree Ring. The data include parameters of tree ring with a geographic location of Mongolia, Eastern Asia. The time period coverage is from 2056 to -61 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data. Tree ring data from the International Tree Ring Data Bank and World Data Center for Paleoclimatology archives. Most data sets include raw treering measurements (most are annual ring width, with some collections of earlywood or latewood width or wood density), plus chronologies (standardized growth indices for a site compiled from multiple treering samples). Reconstructions of climate variables are included with some of these data sets. Each data type is stored in a separate data file; the data type is coded into the file name.

This morphology can # enhance short and long-term trends in tree ring widths as growth is focused to the living # portion of strip-bark trees. In fact, we find that strip-bark Siberian pine on the Khorgo # lava field had positive ring widths over the first 150-300 years of ring-width formation # while non strip-bark Siberian pine showed the common decline over the first 150-300 years # of ring-width formation (Pederson, Hessl, et al., 2014; PNAS).

For this reason, users of this data set should not # use the data prior to 750 CE. Also, we cut off this record at 900 CE because tree replication # might limit recovery of 'true' climatic variation.

ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Although many studies have associated the demise of complex societies with deteriorating climate, few have investigated the connection between an ameliorating environment, surplus resources, energy, and the rise of empires. The 13th-century Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Although drought has been proposed as one factor that spurred these conquests, no high-resolution moisture data are available during the rapid development of the Mongol Empire. Here we present a 1,112-y tree-ring reconstruction of warm-season water balance derived from Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica) trees in central Mongolia. Our reconstruction accounts for 56% of the variability in the regional water balance and is significantly correlated with steppe productivity across central Mongolia. In combination with a gridded temperature reconstruction, our results indicate that the regional climate during the conquests of Chinggis Khan's (Genghis Khan's) 13th-century Mongol Empire was warm and persistently wet. This period, characterized by 15 consecutive years of above-average moisture in central Mongolia and coinciding with the rise of Chinggis Khan, is unprecedented over the last 1,112 y. We propose that these climate conditions promoted high grassland productivity and favored the formation of Mongol political and military power. Tree-ring and meteorological data also suggest that the early 21st-century drought in central Mongolia was the hottest drought in the last 1,112 y, consistent with projections of warming over Inner Asia. Future warming may overwhelm increases in precipitation leading to similar heat droughts, with potentially severe consequences for modern Mongolia.
