Abstract  

In this paper, the tree-ring data of Picea schrenkiana growing in the Middle and Eastern of Boertala Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang of China are used to analyze the response of tree-ring width to climatic elements in the Tianshan Mountains region. The results show that the dominant factor affecting the radial growth of Picea schrenkiana is precipitation. The linear regression model is used to establish a transfer function to reveal the relationship between the standardized chronology of tree-ring width and the annual precipitation from previous July to next June at the Bole and Jinghe Meteorological Stations. The precipitation data was reconstructed during 1622-2010. The explained variance of the transfer function is 35.8% and passed the statistical test well. The reconstructed precipitation series is consistent well with the drought history record in this region. The change trend of precipitation in the study area is consistent with that in the whole Tianshan Mountains. Analysis on the variation of precipitation series over the past 389 years showed that the reconstructed precipitation series had significant change periods of two-years, and there were 7 wet periods above precipitation mean value and 7 dry periods below precipitation mean value over the past 389 years.
