1. Introduction The maximum latewood density (MXD) of tree rings holds considerable potential for global climate reconstruction owing to its greater sensitivity to temperature in the growing season compared with that of tree-ring width (RW) [1]. The MXD has a stronger and more robust climatic signal compared with the signal from tree-ring widths and is reasonably independent of species and site ecology [2].
Abstract : Snow is an important source of freshwater in the Tianshan Mountains of Central Asia. This study established 18 tree ring width chronologies and compound chronologies and analyzed the effects of snow depth, measured both by remote sensing and at meteorological stations, on the radial growth of spruce trees. The results showed that the established standard chronology of tree ring width is suitable for the analysis of tree ring climatology.
