Abstract

Information on age is important in relation to growth and yield and as a variable in evaluating site quality. Total age is difficult to determine in some situations, so age is sometimes reported as the number of years since planting, as the age measured at some defined stump height, or as measured...

Cover for Methods and approaches in the study of woodland history.

This chapter explores the wide range of methods and approaches to woodland history that have been used, with examples taken from across Europe. Interdisciplinary research undertaken by archaeologists, ecologists, geographers and historians is increasingly the norm and there has also been valuable...

Abstract

This chapter discusses the combined use of pollen grains and spores and of plant macrofossils to reconstruct Holocene floras, vegetation and environments, including climates. The basic approaches to climate reconstruction are outlined, and the complementary nature of pollen-analytical and...

Cover for The use of dendrochronology to evaluate dead wood habitats and management priorities for the ancient oaks of sherwood forest.

Dead wood is increasingly valued as a nature conservation resource and a source of biodiversity, yet there has been relatively little work on the management of standing ancient trees within woodland. Little is known about how long largely dead trees may remain alive, and how long the dead wood is...

Abstract

Establishing well-resolved chronologies is essential for any kind of environmental reconstruction. Linking responses of sedimentary systems to climate change and human impacts requires independent age information: (i) to establish response types; (ii) to identify response lags; (iii) to quantify...

Abstract

Dendrochronology by establishing the year-by-year chronology for the Holocene has set the ultimate chronological standard. All other sources of information on fine resolution climate change must ultimately fit themselves to deductions from the tree-ring calendar. This chapter reviews the principal...

Abstract

Belgrade forest is composed completely of broadleaved trees and is an important woodland for Istanbul (Turkey) of 5000 ha, Oak species, especially Quercus petraea, cover a large area in the forest, where Q. petraea is at the lower limit of its distribution area. The main goal of the study was to...

Abstract

Turkey has several monumental tree stands of Pinus nigra. Two of them are located near Antalya province. The research described was carried out to determine the dendrochronological potential of monumental trees and to find out the relationships between the width of tree rings and climatic records...

AbstractFull Text

An optimization of shelterwood regeneration of a mature European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stand growing on a good site was investigated. The study was based on dendrochronological analysis of radial discs taken at two different stem heights from mature beech trees separated into three social...

AbstractFull Text

On the northwestern slopes of the Rila Mountain 17 representative Norway spruce trees were investigated by dendrochronological analysis. A chronology of the radial growth in millimeters and indices for the period 1915-2000 within a range of 85 years was established. During the period of...
