1 Chinese Journal of Applied Ecology Oct * 1 2** Q A Responses of Pinus koraiensis tree ring cell scale parameters to climate elements in Changbai Mountains WANG Hui 1 SHAO Xue-mei 2 FANG Xiu-qi 1 YIN Zhi-yong 3 CHEN Li 2 ZHAO Dong-sheng 2 WU Shao-hong 2 1 School of Geography Beijing Normal University Beijing China 2 Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing China 3 Department of Marine Science and Environmental Studies University of San Diego San Diego CA USA -Chin J Appl Ecol Abstract Based on the tree ring samples of Pinus koraiensis collected from the low altitude areas of Changbai Mountains seven standard chronologies for tree ring width and cell scale parameters were constructed Parts of the chronologies were chosen for the correlation analysis with the climate elements in at Donggang meteorological station and the changes of the correlations between tree ring indices and climate elements before and after 1988 in which the climate changed abruptly were discussed In the seven standard chronologies constructed cell number had the best correlation with tree ring width Both precipitation and air temperature were the limiting factors for the growth of P koraiensis but the chronologies had better correlation with precipitation than with air temperature mainly manifested in the significant correlation between the chronologies and the precipitation in previous September and current May and June Comparing with tree ring width cell size could reveal more climatic information mainly manifested in the positive correlation between the chronologies and the air temperature in March and the precipitation in May and the negative correlation between the chronologies and the air temperature in May After the abrupt change of air temperature in 1988 the responses of cell size to climate elements had some changes mainly manifested in the decreasing sensitivity to monthly climate elements and the earlier response time Key words Changbai Mountains Pinus koraiensis cell scale parameter climatic response * BAC03A02 ** shaoxm@ igsnrr ac cn
