Abstract: Complicated correlations exist between tree-ring width, density, image analysis, relative isotope composition, and climatic factors,such as temperature, humidity and the change of atmosphere component, etc. Research methods of dendrochronology and application in global climate change, air pollution, reconstructing concentration of air CO2 were summarized in this paper. Existing questions in global change study or disputed problems were also discussed. In addition, the future trends of tree ring study in global change research were prospected.
