CLIMATIC RESPONSE FROM TREE-RING WIDTH OF POPULUS AND BETULA AT THE FLOODPLAINS: TARIM RIVER, CHINA
Tree-ring width can give clear visions of what parameters influence in this or that period of its growth. Tree-rings width chronologies of Populus euphratica & Betula platyphylla, were investigated based on dendrochronological standards on the Tarim River floodplains, Xinjiang Region at an altitude of 500-1000 m a.s.l. and climatic factors influencing the tree-ring width were examined using a Pearson's correlation coefficient. Four parameters of monthly climatic data [mean temperature, total precipitation, river run off were used for the analysis.
