There were limited variations in the ecology and environment of the sampling area, ensuring the homogeneity of growth data. # LINTAB equipment and TSAP 0.53 software (Rinntech 2005) were used for measuring the annual ring widths with a precision of 0.01 mm, as well as for cross-dating the # growth series by graphical comparison. The results were checked for missing ring and dating error using the COFECHA software (Holmes 1983; Grissino-Mayer 1997). Samples missing pith or showing low correlation # (<0.25) with the master chronology were excluded from the analysis. The final dataset comprised 410 individual series from 207 trees (65 series from living trees and 355 series from dead trees). #-------------------- # Publication # Authors: Popa, I. and Z.

(Romania). Tree-ring data were standardized using the regional curve standardization method in order to preserve the low # and medium frequency climate signals. The de-trended index strongly correlates with summer mean temperature both at annual and decadal scales. The Calimani summer # mean temperature anomalies were reconstructed for the period AD 1163-2005 applying the rescaling method. This new climate proxy from the Carpathians shows similar # fluctuations to other North Hemispheric temperature reconstructions, but with periods of distinct differences. The fingerprint of Little Ice Age in the Calimani area is # visible between AD 1370 and 1630 followed by lagged cold decades in AD 1820 and 1840. The recent warming is evident only after the 1980s in our reconstruction. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Romanian Science Foundation # Grant: IDEII program, project ID65.
