Abstract

Abstract: Based on the standard method of dendrochronology, we examined the tree-ring width index of two dominant tree species in the Altay Mountains, China, including Picea obovata and Larix sibirica. We analyzed the basal area increments (BAI) of those two species and the relationships between their radial growth and the climatic factors, which were compared in similar habitats. The results showed that the BAI of P. obovata was greater than L. sibirica, but the radial growth rate of L. sibirica was greater. In recent 60 years, the radial growth of P. obovata negatively correlated with high temperature in the fast growing stage of previous year, while the high temperature in June of current year promoted the radial growth of L. sibirica. There was a significantly negative correlation between radial growth of L. sibirica with temperature in January of current year. The sensitivity of tree growth to climate showed an obvious increase after an abrupt climate change under the background of recent warming and wetting trend in mid-1980s. Results of the moving correlation analysis showed that the response of the radial growth of P. obovata and L. sibirica to temperature and precipitation were enhanced under the background of climate change in the study area.

Key words: Altay Mountains, Picea obovata, Larix sibirica, tree ring, radial growth, climatic response
