Atmospheric and streamflow drought back to 1600 were reconstructed with provenance-verified regional Pinus-sylvestris and Pinus-nigra chronologies of earlywood, latewood and ring width, detrended by signal-free regional curve standardization, from the Weinviertel, a dry region in Eastern Austria....

Compared to the alpine regions of Austria, the eastern part of the country is overall warmer and drier with some tree species growing at the dry limit within their ecological range. This suggests that tree rings may be a valuable proxy for hydroclimatic variability. In this study, we develop...

A study was conducted to determine whether annual rings are present in the bark of Magnolia spp. and to explore the potential for age determination. The analysis of bark rings might be useful in pharmacognosy for the identification of crude bark and for evaluating its quality.

Annual growth rings were studied in Cedrela fissilis and compared with periods of shoot growth.

Axial variation of latewood-widths and -stable isotopes (δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O) of a single sessile oak tree (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) was analysed. The influence of sampling height was found to be weak for both, latewood-widths and -stable isotopes in the latewood. The observed trends with...
