Introduction to the Lecture：

Tree rings serve as the most widely utilized proxy for reconstructing climate variations over the past millennium, offering essential scientific evidence for understanding global warming. Their applications extend to numerous areas of global change research. This report highlights the research group’s work on climate reconstruction, social succession, forest disturbance, typhoon disasters, and soil erosion reconstruction in southeastern China.
