Abstract:

Based on the dendrochonological method,we collected tree ring samples at upper and lower distributional limits of Pinus densata in Haba Snow Mountain to reveal the key climatic factors affecting tree radial growth by studying the relationship between residual chronologies and climatic factors.The results showed that radial growth of P.densata at the upper distributional limits was mainly affected by the hydrothermal condition in previous August,its growth was also significantly correlated with monthly maximum temperature in current March (positive),monthly mean temperature in current May (negative),and precipitation in current June (negative). At lower distributional limits,hydrothermal condition in current May was the main factor affecting its radial growth,while precipitation in December of previous year also promoted its growth.The relationship between the radial growth of P.densata and climate factors was stable.This study is a favorable supplement to the tree ring research in Hengduan Mountains,and it can also provide a theoretical basis for forest protection under future climate change.

Key words: northwest Yunnan plateau, tree ring, climate response, Hengduan mountains, temperature and precipitation
