Radial Growth Responses of Cryptomeria japonica to the climate

Coefficents of residual chronology of Cryptomeria japonica and climate data showed that the radial growth of Cryptomeria japonica was positively positively correlated to the temperature of the prior October and November,and the precipitation of the prior December and the crrent Janary,but negatively correlated to the precipitation in March and the temperature in August of the current year.They are not only decisive factors of altitudinal distribution of Cryptomeria japonica,but also important conditions of biomass accumulation and carbon cycle.
