Lithuanian research since 1953 is reviewed.

New master-chronologies of black alder [Alnus glutinosa] in Alnetum carecosum and Carecoso-calamagrosticosum forest sites, and birch [Betula] in Betuletum carecosum and Carecoso-calamagrosticosum forest sites in Lithuania are presented. These chronologies are established using growing trees radial...

Climate changes during the Holocene are not very pronounced, especially when compared with glacial-interglacial climatic shifts. However, for the future it is very important to understand, and maybe even predict holocene climatic changes. Recently, high-precision palaeo-data have been recorded and...

An analysis was undertaken of Lithuanian dendroscales spanning 134-175 and 867 years: two dendroscales of pine [Pinus] growing on Vaccinium-myrtillus sites of normal moisture, a dendroscale of spruce [Picea] stands growing on moist Caricoso-sphagnosum sites, and one of Larix sibirica growing at the ...

Results are presented of autocorrelation, spectral and harmonic analysis of time series of Scots pine [Pinus sylvestris] tree rings and different external factors (average monthly temperatures, precipitation, solar activity) and relations between them. Taking into account the rather weak...

Growth rings were analysed from larch (Larix dahurica [L. gmelinii]) trees sampled at 4 sites in the northern treeline in the Taimyr region of Russia in order to obtain information about warm season temperatures and a long-term history of the thermal environment. In this area, which encompasses the ...

A well replicated ring-width chronology of Himalayan cedar (Cedrus deodara) developed from Uttarkashi, Garhwal Himalaya, India, was used to reconstruct mean temperature of previous growth year October to concurrent year August back to AD 1171. The reconstructed temperature showing episodes of cool...

While performing archaeological excavations in Kaunas Castle in Lithuania, 2 charcoal samples and 12 archaeological wood samples were taken. They were dated using radiocarbon and dendrochronology methods. As different species of wood had been used for construction, it was possible to date 7 samples ...

Concern about the increasing amount of European tree-ring data and lack of communication between dendrochronologists resulted in the creation of the European Catalogue of Tree-Ring Chronologies. Many European dendrochronologists were not in favour of a databank, so the Catalogue lists details of...
