This paper focuses on select aspects of coast redwood ecology that illustrate how redwood research has progressed and proliferated over time. Redwood research developed slowly after the first botanical description of the species in 1824, but in recent decades the pace of ecological investigation...

Since 1967, the historical musical instruments have been defined as objects belonging to the cultural heritage of humanity. Historical string instruments are mainly instruments of classical music belonging to the violin family - the violin, the viola, the cello, the double bass and also the...

Dendrochronological method allows to estimate the productivity of woody plants for the entire period of the tree life and select trees for breeding with exceptional forest properties. The aim of our study is to assess the stability and viability of aspen clones in the natural populations located on ...

At Catahoula Lake in central Louisiana, an internationally important lake for water fowl, hydrologic alterations to the surrounding rivers and the lake itself have led to an expansion of water-elm (Planera aquatica J.F. Gmel.) into the lake bed. In this study, we used dendrochronology and aerial...

Crossdated tree-ring chronologies for the Arcata Community Forest (ACF) and Muir Woods National Monument (Muir Woods) expand the spatial coverage of dated coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl.) series. Crossdating relies on the common pattern of ring-width variation among tree...

Charcoal particles in soils and sediments of the Appalachian region provide evidence of long-term fire history relevant to resource management and to studies of paleoclimate, vegetation history, and the effects of prehistoric and historic humans on the environment. Charcoal records of fire history...

A dendrochronology study was conducted in three upland yellow pine stands in Georgia to determine whether the individual Table Mountain (Pinus pungens) and pitch (P. rigida) pines originated in sunny gaps or shaded understories, whether they grew uninterrupted into the canopy or were assisted by...

Through field location studies and analysis of flood-affected trees, it is possible to improve the estimation of the frequency, magnitude and physical properties of flooding, especially in those basins where there is no information available. This paper reviews the methodological basis for...

This paper describes the use of dendrogeomorphology to determine erosion rates in the Senda Schmidt. This road is located in the Montes de Valsaín (northern slope of the Sierra de Guadarrama), province of Segovia, Spain. It is a place where there has been a rapid erosion of soil in recent years...
