Fig. 3.

Strip-bark and whole-bark ring-width chronologies from the White Mountains of California. Black chronologies are from whole-bark trees only; red chronologies are from strip-bark trees only. Note the similarity of whole-bark vs. strip-bark and the dissimilarity of the upper treeline (SHP) vs. the non-upper treeline (CWL). Smoothing was done with a 5-year moving average. (A) SHP (upper-treeline) ring-width chronologies. (B) CWL (non-upper-treeline) ring-width chronologies. SHP and CWL sites are separated by ≈3 km.
