Abstract

Although two centennial Scots pine chronologies for the dating of timber in Lithuania were constructed in the 2000s, the Baltic countries still lack a network of regional chronologies. To fill this gap, we constructed three Scots pine chronologies for western, central and eastern Lithuania. Here we ...

Abstract

The article discusses the results of the dendrochronological investigation on a subfossil oak extracted from the Nemunas riverine sediments in Punios šilas, South Lithuania. The radiocarbon dating has demonstrated that the oak grew in the Late Atlantic period, approximately from 3815 to 3649 BC....

Abstract

Fire is an important natural disturbance and a driver of hemi-boreal forest successional trajectories, structural complexity, and biodiversity. Understanding the historic fire regime is an important step towards sustainable forest management. Focusing on Lithuania's hemi-boreal forests, we first...

Abstract

Klaipėda is a town in western Lithuania on the Baltic Sea coast. Oak timber was actively used to construct buildings in this town until the 17th century. Archaeological investigations began in Klaipėda's old town in 1979, but it has not been possible to use oak timbers for dating due to the lack of ...

Abstract

More than 70 logboats are known in Lithuania and about half of them date before 1800 cal AD. This paper reviews these more ancient logboats, which were discovered in the beds of former or still existing lakes and rivers and present new radiocarbon (14C) dates and wood taxa identifications. Special...

Abstract

Black alder (Alnus glutinosa [L.] Gaertn.) is an important component of riparian and wetland ecosystems in Europe. However, data on the growth of this significant broadleaved tree species is very limited. Presently, black alder currently suffers from the pathogen Phytophthora and is particularly...

Abstract

There are significant inter-annual fluctuations of growing stock volume changes of living trees estimated by the Lithuanian National Forest Inventory (NFI). In the current study, we compared two sources of information on forest productivity: conventional NFI data and dendrochronological data based...

Abstract

Pinus sylvestris L. is the predominant tree species used for wooden constructions in the Baltic area. Accordingly, the timber of Pinus is the most important object for investigation and dating carried out by dendrochronologists of the Baltic countries. However, the dating of historical Pinus is...

Abstract

Dendrochronological investigations on subfossil European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) wood found in two bogs of Western Lithuania are presented. Radiocarbon dating has revealed that Fraxinus grew in the Middle and Late Holocene, from approximately 4700 BC to 1500 BC. It is proposed that the growth...

Abstract

This study presents results of a dendroclimatological study on the radial growth of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) in Lithuania. Analysis of response function has shown that tree-ring widths of larch are inversely correlated with air temperature in the previous summer, and directly related to ...
