Central Asia Cold Case: Siberian Pine Fingers New Suspects in Growth Decline CA 1700 CE by David M. Meko, Dina F. Zhirnova, Liliana V. Belokopytova, Yulia A. Kholdaenko, Elena A. Babushkina, Nariman B. Mapitov, Eugene A. Vaganov

“…We conclude that stress from low summer temperatures in the Little Ice Age was likely exacerbated by tree damage associated with weather extremes, including infamous Mongolian “dzuds”, over 1695–1704. A tropical volcanic eruption in 1695 is proposed as the root cause of these disturbances through atmospheric circulation changes, possibly an amplified Scandinavia Northern Hemisphere teleconnection pattern. …”
