Insects through the Seasons

Reconstructing the temperature degree of the warm seasons through Quercus persica tree rings in Zagros forests Dena region

Trees can record long-term effects of climate variables. Using dendroclimatology knowledge, we can reconstruct such variables especially for areas which have short-term climatic data. For this purpose, we reconstructed the temperature degree of the warm months (May-September) through annual rings width of Quercus persica and regression analysis of data obtained from stations on Dena region.

The Seasons of Life

The Redefinition of Taiwan seasons

It is usually thought that a year consists of four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Taiwan basically follows the rule. Taiwan climate is mainly governed by monsoons. Therefore, the beginning of summer (winter) can be interpreted as the inward movement of summer (winter) monsoons. Considering the important role of mei-yu period, Chen (2000) pointed out that mei-yu should be added as a...
