This paper presents results of the spatial distribution of anomalies (disturbances) in the anatomical structure of the annual and missing rings of Siberian larch at the upper forest line in the Republic of Tuva. The spatial analysis of tree-ring chronologies that was conducted on six sites (Mongun, Kolchan, Tan, Derzik, Kungur, and Taris) has made it possible to identify the extreme events of local (1662, 1699, 1792, 1804, 1814, 1821, 1847, 1867, and 1993), regional (1698, 1754, 1775, 1779, 1785, 1788, 1789, 1797, 1813, 1819, 1843, 1854, 1869, 1870, 1882, 1911, and 1923), and interregional (1783, 1784, 1812, and 1884) importance; the latter are in good agreement with the data on large volcanic eruptions (the Grimsvotn, Lakagigar, Soufriere St. Vincent, and Krakatau volcanoes) and data from historical sources.
