In Büyükyurt Village of Niksar city of Tokat province, there are 20 graves which are not known to which period and to whom they belong and made with the wooden Çantı technique. The aim of the paper is to determine which periods they belong to by dendrochronology methods by taking samples from the...

The aim of the present study is to attempt assessing the age of a monumental olive tree located between the Antique Cities of Militus (Didim-Aydın region) and Iasos (Milas-Muğla region). Wood from the trunk of an olive tree is not appropriate for conventional dating approaches such as ...

Lake Avlan is a natural lake located in the mountainous areas in southwestern Turkey. The lake was drained towards the end of the 1970s. However, some serious socioeconomic impacts were felt in the region surrounding the lake basin. Because the increasing ecological problems were realized within 20 ...

Although the importance of centuries-long tree ring width oak chronologies in dating wood, Eastern European regions are still lacking a reference chronology. To fill this geographical gap, we combined living and historical chronologies from the Moldova region, including part of Romania and the...

Central Anatolia is one of the semi-arid regions of Turkey that does not offer very suitable conditions for the growth of trees. Tree growth is a process controlled by genetic, environmental and climatic factors. Trees record these signals, which provide valuable scientific data for...

Dendrochronology is the scientific discipline of dating based on tree-rings (growth rings) to analyse temporal and spatial patterns of processes in the physical and cultural sciences. Of which a sub-discipline of dendrochronology, dendrogeomorhology provides the techniques to date and analyse earth ...

This study was carried out to construct a site chronology of oriental beech in Topaktas site of the Amanos Mountains, one of the most southerly populations of oriental beech, and to investigate the relationships between tree-ring width and some climate variables such as the monthly maximum, minimum ...

Calendar-dated tree-ring sequences offer an unparalleled resource for high-resolution paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Where such records exist for a few limited geographic regions over the last 8,000 to 12,000 years, they have proved invaluable for creating precise and accurate timelines for...

Climate change can affect tree growth, stand productivity, and tree mortality. The sensitivity of tree species to the changing climate may vary in managed and unmanaged forests. Thus, the main objective of this study was to examine whether the effects of climate vary in managed and unmanaged...

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...
