We used abundant Qilian juniper （Sabina przewalskii Kom.） tree-ring samples from the eastern margin of the Qaidam Basin to develop a new standardization method, i.e. total growth curve （TGC）. The samples that contained the complete pith and reached to the growing culmination around the 40th-60th year were used to fit TGC, and the generalized negative exponential function was used to fit the curve. Usually, most cores cannot reach the arboreal pith for some reasons and it is difficult to determine the arboreal cambial age. The empirical model of initial radial growth （IRG） was employed to estimate the number of rings missing from the pith by the same data and IRG model explained 90.9% of the variance. When developing the chronology, the cambial ages of cores that contained the complete pith were regarded as beginning from the first year and others were determined by the numbers of missing and included rings in the core. Standardization was accomplished by dividing each tree-ring series by corresponding TGC. The chronologies developed by TGC can retain more low-frequency variational information and TGC helps to develop more reliable tree-ring width chronology.展开更多
文摘采用木材切片法和光学显微技术，研究香椿木材的微观特征，分析年轮宽度、导管及纤维形态的径向变异。结果表明：髓心至第10年年轮宽度迅速增加，1～20 a间均保持旺盛的生长；早材和晚材的导管宽度、双壁厚、腔径由髓心向外逐渐增大，约19 a 后趋于平稳，早材导管宽度121．80μm，晚材导管宽度38．75μm，早材导管双壁厚度10．98μm，晚材导管双壁厚度16．49μm；纤维长度由髓心向外呈逐渐增大的趋势，18 a后纤维长度基本趋于稳定，纤维形态指标平均值分别为：长度1080．94μm，宽度26．76μm，长宽比40．25，双壁厚7．96μm，腔径18．80μm，壁腔比0．43。
