Abstract: The 13C/12Cratio (δ13C) in tree ring of subtropical monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest is determined in this paper. The average δ13Cis-28.53±0.84(n=5) for Aporosa yunnanensis from 1962 to 1983, -28.46±0.53(n=6) for Machilus chinensis from 1951 to 1984, -29.19±0.80 (n=6) for Cryptocarya concinna from 1951 to 1984 and -28.42±0.41(n=4) for Schirna superba from 1975 to 1984. Deviation of δ13Cfrom mean increases year by year, and calculated CO2 concentration in atmosphere increases by 1.21 μl/Lyearly.

Key words: Subtropical monsoon evergreen forest, σ13C in tree ring, Atmospheric CO2 concentration
