Abstract
Based on cross-dating tree rings from the Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province, the tree rings α -cellulose δ 13 C time series was measured. By spectrum analysis, the variation of tree-ring δ 13 C sequence shows a quasi periodicity of 4.4 years, which is coincident with the standard cycle of El Nino. After removing the long-term decrease trend of the δ 13 C variation related to atmospheric CO 2 concentration, the response of the δ 13 C to climate elements was analyzed using meteorology data from a nearby weather station. The results suggest that there is a distinct relativity between high-frequency variation of tree ring δ 13 C series and seasonal climate parameters, e.g. temperature and precipitation, with a significant time-lag effect. In addition, the high frequency also reflects the strength change of the East Asian Monsoon. The multiple regression method was employed to reconstruct the historical climate, and to analyze the climate change and trend in the last 160 years in the northern Zhejiang Province.
