- Abstract
Based on the established tree-ring width chronology of Larix gmelinii in Kuduer, Great Xing'an Mountains, this paper analyzed the relationships between L. gmelinii tree-ring width chronology and related climatic variables, including air temperature, precipitation, and PDSI. In the study area, the L. gmelinii tree-ring width chronology was significantly negatively correlated with the air temperature in May and July (P<0-01), had no significant correlation with precipitation, but significantly positively correlated with the PDSI in June-August (P <0-05), suggesting that hydro-thermal variables had significant coupling effects to the radial growth of L. gmelinii in its growth season, particularly in May and July. The L. gmelinii tree-ring width chronology had significant correlations with large scale climatic regimes such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in both low and high frequency variations, illustrating the significant effects of the remote oceanic climatic regimes to the local tree growth.
