Аннотация: Global warming is most pronounced in high-latitude regions by altering habitat conditions and affecting permafrost degradation, which may significantly influence tree productivity and vegetation changes. In this study, by applying a "space-for-time" approach, we selected three plots of Larix gmelinii forest from a continuous permafПоказать полностьюrost zone in Siberia with different thermo-hydrological soil regimes and ground cover vegetation with the objective of assessing how tree growth and productivity will change under different stages of permafrost degradation. A tree-ring multi-proxy characterization of mature trees was used to identify shift in ecophysiological responses related to the modified plant-soil system. Variability of tree-ring width (1975-2009), stable isotope ratios (oxygen and carbon, 2000-2009) and xylem structural characteristics (2000-2009) under climatic conditions of particular years indicated that an increased depth of the soil active layer will initially lead to increase of tree productivity. However, due to an expected water use increase through transpiration, the system might progressively shift from a temperature to a moisture-limited environment. (C) 2015 Elsevier GmbH.
