Abstract

Abstract: Tree-ring width standardized chronology is created by Juniperus tibetica which was collected in Lixin Township,Zhiduo County,Qinghai Province of China.Correlation analysis indicates that there is significantly positive correlation between PDSI (April-June) and tree-ring width (r=0.597,1960-2012).The tree-ring width standardized chronology is used to reconstruct PDSI in April-June in the Yangtze River source region for the period of 1606-2012,and it explaines the 36.0% of the total PDSI variance during the common period.There are ten wet periods and eleven dry periods in the reconstructed PDSI sequence over the past 407 years.Spatial analysis shows that the PDSI index in the Yangtze River source region has strong common signals for the north central Tibetan Plateau.Using the multi-taper method (MTM) spectrum analysis,it is found that the reconstructed PDSI has 30-50 a,3-3.3 a,2.1-2.7 a cycles.Correlation analysis shows that the dry-wet change of Yangtze River source region is closely related with simultaneous sea surface temperature anomalous in the central equatorial Pacific,the tropical Indian Ocean and the Kuroshio region of northwest Pacific.

Key words: Yangtze River source region, tree-ring width, PDSI
