Abstract Global climate change has led to rising temperatures and drought in boreal forests in Northeast China. In some areas, shrubs and trees coexist in high altitude and high latitude areas, and their differences with global warming may lead to significant changes in vegetation composition and distribution. Therefore, we compared the relationships between climate and growth for the most widely distributed dwarf shrub (Pinus pumila) and the two dominant tree species (Larix gmelinii and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) in boreal forests in the Daxing’an Mountains, China. A total of 340 tree-ring cores from 172 trees and 64 discs from shrubs were collected from four sites and compared the responses of shrub and tree growth to climate patterns using dendrochronological methods. The shrub and two tree species responded differently to interannual climate variance. The negative effect of growing season temperature was greater on growth of L.gmelinii and P. sylvestrisvar.mongolica than on P. pumila, and the promoting effect of winter and spring precipitation was greatest on P. pumila. Compared with the two tree species, P. pumila had a higher temperature threshold and grew over a shorter growing season. Our findings suggested that L. gmelinii and P. sylvestrisvar.mongolica are more susceptible to global warming than the shrubs that coexist with them. However, P.pumila should be studied from an individual perspective in the future due to the dwarf morphology of shrubs and their complex microenvironment.
