The local geographical and climate condition has been introduced in detail. An index series was obtained after the width of tree-rings on 5 different radii was measured andfitted by linear and negative exponential functional regression. Each annual ring has been separated on the whole to simultaneously measure △<sup>14</sup> C and δ<sup>13</sup> C of treerings. Cellulose was extracted by the standard chemical method, then oxidized by copper oxide to C0<sub>2</sub>.Carbon isotopic analyses were performed with a Mat-252 mass spectrometer. Results are expressed in thestandard δ notation with respect to the PDB standard with a precision of 0.1‰. 2展开更多

Data was collected from two cities and one county by using sample quadrats of 20 * 20 m. A total of 11 quadrats were used to collect tree height, diameter at the breast height (DBH), annual growth rings and soil data.
