摘要
We established a tree-ring width series from one Yunnan Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga forrestii) stand near the Mingyong glacier terminus of Meili Snow Mountain, southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Correlation analyses indicated that radial growth of Yunnan Douglas firs is largely controlled by variations in winter (November-March) precipitation. The precipitation reconstruction model accounts for 37% of the actual precipitation variance during the common period 1954-2012. Spatial correlations with the gridded precipitation data reveal that the winter precipitation reconstruction represents regional precipitation changes over the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. By comparing our results with other regional tree-ring records, a distinctive amount of common dry and humid periods were found. Our winter precipitation reconstruction shows profound similarities with Salween river streamflow signals as well as regional glacial activity. Cross-wavelet analysis reveals solar and ENSO influences on precipitation and streamflow variations in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau.
