Abstract

Dendrochronology is the study of the chronological sequence of annual growth rings in trees. Research on tree rings has led to the development of various subareas of dendrochronology. For example, dendrogeomorphology, which relates to the dating and deciphering of geological and geomorphological...

Abstract

Charcoal piles have become a frequent subject of research in recent years as a better understanding of past human activities in forests is sought. The age of charcoal piles is usually determined by radiocarbon dating; dendrochronology is rarely used because of the small size of preserved charcoal...

Abstract

Tree rings provide an invaluable long-term record for understanding how climate and other drivers shape tree growth and forest productivity. However, conventional tree-ring analysis methods were not designed to simultaneously test effects of climate, tree size, and other drivers on individual...

Abstract

The main objective of the study was to evaluate long-term growth response of spruce to climatic factors using the set of 3,062 tree-ring series collected in 2013-2019 from the entire territory of the Czech Republic. Multivariate analysis of dendrochronological data and available environmental...

Abstract

European forests are undergoing an important transition due to the current climate change, as monocultures are being gradually replaced by mixed forests. Understanding tree growth in mixed forests under a changing climate is challenging because of tree species' adaptation and long-term forest...

AbstractFull Text

Based on previous measurements from 1962 to 2017 on forest research plots located on former slash-and-burn farming areas in the cadastral municipality of Koprivna, the diameter and height increment as well as volume increments of the two main tree species - spruce and larch - were calculated. These ...

Abstract

Transcarpathian wooden churches started to dilapidate after World War I. To preserve the architectural heritage, five oak churches were transported from the region to the territory of today's Czech Republic. However, an exact date of their construction and origin of wood have not been specified and ...

Abstract

Recently, dendrogeomorphic methods have been increasingly used for the dating past-flood events, and tree-ring-based approaches are generally considered valuable tools in palaeohydrology. Several limitations of the approach are known, but their effects on the resulting chronologies have not been...

Abstract

Knowledge of meteorological triggers of mass movements is crucial for determining the degree of hazards, but also for predicting their occurrence. Dendrogeomorphic methods (tree-ring based) have repeatedly provided data on historical landslide activity as a basis for detailed trigger analysis....

AbstractFull Text

Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) is still counted among drought-tolerant tree species. However, its ability to cope with the recent extremely dry period has not yet been sufficiently studied. The objective of research was to analyse differences in the climate-growth response between silver fir, Norway ...
