Abstract: Based on the concentration analyses of S,Mn,Fe,Zn,Cu and Pb in the growth ring set of Pinus taiwanensis at the summit (1 400～1 600 m alt.) of Huangshan Mountains during past 80 years,this paper studied the dynamic characters of element concentrations in the ring set,and their relationships with atmospheric environment.The results showed that there were three levels of S concentration in the growth ring set,i.e.,low concentration (less than 2 mg·kg^-1),accounted for 58.5% of the ring set; medium (3.65～6.0 mg·kg^-1),accounted for 24.4%; and high (>11.0 mg·kg^-1),accounted for 17.1%.The dynamic change of S accumulation in the ring set displayed an obvious fluctuation,which could be divided into 3 major types,i.e.,fluctuation during 1917～1960,relatively stable during 1961～1980,and gradual increase after 1981.In the growth ring set of 1935～1938,1959～1960,and recent 10 years,the S accumulation concentrations were all higher than 11 mg·kg^-1, suggesting the relatively high atmospheric S concentration in those periods. There was a significant correlation between the increase of tourist amount in Huangshan scenic spot and the S concentration in growth ring set.The fuel fume centralized in some places might result in the atmospheric pollution at local scale,which in turn,might influence the S accumulation in growth ring set.The Pb accumulation concentration in the ring set was less than the background value in soil.The accumulation concentrations of Mn,Fe,Zn and Cu showed fluctuation characteristics,with independence of each other.The accumulation of Zn and Cu in growth rings had no correlation with tree age, while that of Mn and Fe was in adverse.The Mn concentration in the growth ring set decreased with tree age but increased in recent growth rings, while the Fe concentration was on the contrary,which needed further study.
