AbstractThe close relationship between stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in growth rings of black spruce trees and regional climatic conditions allows us to reconstruct over the last two centuries, two hydroclimatic parameters providing the best statistical correlation with isotopic values, namely the maximum summer temperature (June-August Tmax) and the summer discharge (July to November) of major regional rivers. The reconstructed 200 years series shows contrasting conditions marked by alternating climatic ambiances typically associated with Quebec boreal summers, where warm and dry conditions alternate with cold and wet periods. The series also documents specific climate events such as the cooling that followed the Tambora eruption in 1815. The reconstructed hydroclimatic series were then validated by comparing them to long datasets measured at larger scale, and to other series reconstructed from independent proxies. Results from this analysis suggest that mid and long-term hydroclimatic variations of the central part of the Quebec-Labrador peninsula, as reconstructed from dendroisotopes, were not only controlled by northern Québec climate systems, but also by major weather systems controlling the level of rivers of northeastern North America.
