Description :
This paper studies the relationship between tree ring width and density and climatic factors by the samples collected from west Sichuan Plateau, which is the modern distribution center of subalpine ever-green coniferous forest in China. The AA. reconstructed summer temperature (June-September) from maximum latewood density of alpine pine in western Sichuan. It contributes to understand better the climate change of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Sichuan Province, even the abnormality of regional response to global warming.
