Table 4 Descriptive statistics of tree-ring width for European beech and mountain pine in PE-Pescofalcone, UG-Ugni, PG-Piana Grande, BK-Blockhaus. Chronology time span (total years), mean ring width (MRW, mm year⁻¹), and standard deviation (SD), first-order serial autocorrelation (AC), mean inter-series correlation (Rbar), mean sensitivity (MS), standard deviation (SD), mean expressed population signal (EPS) (number of years > 0.85). MRW and SD were computed on the raw tree ring chronologies; MS, AC, Rbar, and EPS were computed on the indexed tree ring series (RWI). (EPS = obtained for 30 years with 15 years overlapping; (mean) = average of all values ≥ 0.85).
