Increment cores were taken from trees in Jerusalem (the oldest aged 209 yr) at 0.5 m ht., and a master chronology was constructed from the growth patterns of 5 trees at one site. Radial growth showed a correlation (r = 0.50) with spring (March-May) precipitation for the last 50 yr; and correlations ...

Growth rings (from about AD 1650 onwards) were studied in cross-sections of 23 trees of P. nigra felled at a site in the Taurus Mts., and correlations were made with meteorological records over the past 40 yr. A high min. temp. in May and a low max. temp. in July or Aug. contributed to formation of ...

cf. F.A. 29 No. 4386.] Presents growth-ring data for 34 trees, and such precipitation records as are available. It appears that the most important factor for radial growth of this species is availability of water. KEYWORDS: Dendrochronology \ Increment \ Juniperus phoenicea \ Rings, growth...

A study was made of 38 trees growing near the southern limit of the range of the species, in the mountains of Israel. The subjects of investigation were the fluctuations in radial growth and the history of the area as reflected in the occurrence of fires and fellings. No correlation could be found...
