Insect infestations have an impact on the quality of climate reconstructions using Larix ring-width chronologies from the Tibetan plateau
Insect outbreaks are proven to harm trees, reducing their biomass accumulation due to the defoliation of leaves during the growing season. Various defoliators are responsible for the formation of extremely narrow tree rings in different tree species. In climate reconstructions based on tree-ring wid...
