“The longest 10 years’ warm periods were observed during the early decades of the twentieth century (AD 1918–1927…)…”

“The five hottest years (based on 7.33 °C ± 0.99 °C) were AD 1896 (9.80 °C), 1892 (9.44 °C), 1898 (9.40 °C), 1871 (9.24 °C), and AD 1925 (9.23 °C)…”

“Our reconstruction failed to capture the recent warming trend…”

“In this study, we develop a regional chronology (RC) spanning from 1620 to 2017 CE by utilizing dendrochronological techniques and tree-ring data from two stands of Abies pindrow. The RC reveals a significant positive correlation (p < 0.05) with self-calibrated Palmer drought severity index (scPDSI) and precipitation and a significant negative correlation with temperature.”

“Our reconstruction shows a significant correlation with the South Asia Summer Monsoon Index (SASMI), Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO), ENSO, Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and solar activity, emphasizing that all these factors have some influence on the drought variability in central-northern Pakistan.”
