Tree-ring width chronologies from Engelmann spruce at two treeline sites in the central Rocky Mountains contain similar high and low frequency patterns in ring width, indicative of regional climate control on tree growth. Comparisons of annual ring widths with instrumental climate data show relationships with late spring temperature fluctuations on annual to century time scales. Ring width patterns in the earliest dated trees at one of the sites also infers upward migration in treeline at the site around A.D. 1250. No unusual growth increases were seen in recent years, suggesting that these trees have not recorded warmer conditions possibly associated with global climate change.
