  1. KOSOVO Thethi MONTENEGRO Tree sites (Pinus heldreichii) Lura Historical material (P. heldreichii, P. nigra) MACEDONIA ALBANIA ITALY Tomor Korçë GREECE Material • REGIONS • Thethi • Lura • Tomor • (Cuka Partisan)

  2. n=24 radii n=17 radii n=14 radii n=16 radii n=109 radii n=60 radii n=66 radii Material • Thethi 1700-1900 m asl: • MSL 270 • Mean age: 281 • Lura 1800-2000 m asl: • MSL 422 • Mean age: 394 • C. Partisan 1800-2000 m asl: • MSL 298 • Mean age: 308 Replication of the sites

  3. First results Correlation between sites common period AD 1405 - 2008 AT1-AT2: r=0.31 AT1-AT3: r=0.43 AT2-AT3: r=0.54 AT-AL: r=0.67 AL1-AL2: r=0.57 AL-AP: r=0.60 AP1-AP2: r=0.61 common period AD 1451 - 2008 AP-AL: r=0.45

  4. JJA Temperatures JJA Precipitation First results • Broader Balkan Region - Climate data • Temperature is • quite homogeneous • Precipitation • is of local • character

  5. First results Temperature Precipitation Tirana 1951-1980 Tirana 1951-1990 Correlation

  6. Relationship to Bulgaria First results

  7. Conclusion and perspectives • Conclusion • We have very old material reaching back to 617 AD • with the oldest individual counting 1017 tree rings. • Signal strength within and between sites is rather high, when a good replication is reached. • The climate signal contained, however, is still weak, • but with visible tendency towards winter temperatures and summer drought.

  8. Conclusion and perspectives • Needs • Find methods to improve the climate signal, e.g.: • High-frequency analyses considering extreme years • Test more detrending procedures • - Measurements of stable isotopes and maximum late wood densities • Increase replication before 1250 AD => potentially including historical material • => Long-term climate reconstruction for Albania
