Nonlinearity and Fractal Properties of Climate Change during the Past 500 Years in Northwestern China

By using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), the present paper analyzed the nonlinearity and fractal properties of tree-ring records from two types of trees in northwestern China, and then we disclosed climate change characteristics during the past 500 years in this area. The results indicate that...
