Abstract Annual and monthly level data of the Bosten Lake and the dendrochronology methods are used to analyze the relationship of lake level and ring growth of Tamarix ramosissina. A relationship formula between the ring index and the lake level is established. The sensitivity method is applied to analyze the sensitivity of the ring growth to the lake level. The results show that: (1) Bosten Lake level has three obviously change stages from 1955 to 2012. The level decreased from 1955 to 1987, and increased significantly from 1987 to 2002. However, the lake level began to decline from 2002 to 2012 due to water transferring from the Boaten Lake to the lower reaches of the Tarim River. Water transfer also influences the monthly and seasonal lake level change of the Bosten Lake. (2) The ring index is correlated significantly with lake level in current and previous year (p<0.05). Furthermore, the correlation is significant between ring index and lake level from pervious October to current April (p<0.05). And the correlation is also significant between ring index and lake level from March to April in current year while the correlation is not significant from summer to autumn in current year. (3) The sensitivity of the ring index to the lake level change is significantly. The S_k value of ring width appears minimum when lake level is 1 045.3 m. The S_k value is maximum when the lake level is up to 1 046.3 m. Thus, based on ring index sensitivity analysis, suitable sensitive lake level for protecting Tamarix community is determined to be between 1 045.3 and 1 046.3 m.

Key words: ring width lake level sensitivity Tamarix ramosissina Bosten Lake
