Climatic diagram for Balinzuoqi (a, b, c), Xiwuzhumuqinqi (d, e, f) and Linxi (g, h, i) meteorological stations near sampling sites in southern Greater Higgnan Mountains, and average meteorological data from the three stations (j, k, l). Bars indicate monthly precipitation (mm), and curves with points represent monthly mean temperature (°C). Solid lines indicate annual total precipitation and mean temperature. Dashed lines represent trends of annual climatic data.

Pearson correlations (bars) among SGH chronology and average meteorological data from three stations (a. precipitation; b. mean temperature), and (c) gridded 118.25°–44.25° PDSI. Lowercase letters represent months of previous year, and uppercase letters are months of current year. P7-5 indicates precipitation from previous July to current May; T4–7 indicates temperature from April to July. Dotted lines indicate 0.05 significance levels.
