An account is given of the methods used and results obtained in a dendrochronological study of 76 Pines (Pinus sp.) distributed over an area of 40, 000 sq. km. mainly in the steppe region of Central Anatolia. The purpose of the investigation was to obtain a record of climatic (particularly...

While correlation between annual tree growth, as measured by ring width, and annual precipitation records is frequently positive, the use of ring-width measurements as an indication of otherwise unrecorded climatic history is not justified, particularly in areas where rainfall is not a limiting...

Annual-ring diagrams have been prepared for Scots Pine in the Tharandt forest during the 19th century. The fairly constant extreme values show clear correspondences with the variations of precipitation in the area. Ring variations were also studied back to 1690 for Silver Fir and Yew from the...

Crossdating as used in tree-ring investigations in the south-western United States is defined as 'finding in many different trees the same relative chronological placement of years of deficient growth'. It has particular application where site conditions are such that direct precipitation is the...

A comprehensive and critical review of numerous papers on this subject, with particular reference to recent publications on 'tree-ring analysis'. The general conclusion reached is that the deduction of climatic conditions from tree growth should follow lines other than the direct quantitative...
