我国树木年代学研究自20世纪90年代以来取得了长足进展,尤其是树木年轮气候学研究已经在国际上有一定影响.然而,我国树木年代学研究发展相对不均衡,其他树木年轮分支学科的发展相对较弱.本文综述国内外树木年代学不同分支学科研究进展,对比我国树木年代学研究现状和国际研究概况,为我国树木年代学不同分支学科的研究提出建议.我国未来树木年轮气候学研究应在开展大量不同区域树木年轮气候学重建基础上,尝试选用不同数理方法和多树木年轮指标(宽度、密度、同位素和木材解剖学指标)进行长时间尺度和大空间范围重建工作,并通过诊断方法和过程模拟方式讨论重建时段的气候机制.
Tree-ring studies in China have achieved great advances since the 1990s, particularly for the dendroclimatological studies which have made some influence around the world. However, because of the uneven development, limited attention has been currently paid on the other branches of dendrochronology. We herein briefly compared the advances of dendrochronology in China and of the world and presented suggestions on future dendrochronological studies. Large-scale tree-ring based climate reconstructions in China are highly needed by employing mathematical methods and a high quality tree-ring network of the ring-width, density, stable isotope and wood anatomy. Tree- ring based field climate reconstructions provide potentials on explorations of climate foreings during the reconstructed periods via climate diagnosis and process simulation.
