The lichen flora and the historical use of a Pinus sylvestris-dominated area in Danielasen nature reserve, in Nordland county, are presented. The study area is about 75 ha large, most of it sited outside the reserve. A wildfire burned through the area in 1831 and left behind dead wood represented...

The old Sami tradition of collecting pine bark has gradually become forgotten in Norway during the last century, and characteristic markings on old living and dead pine trunks in and near Øvre Dividalen National Park, Central Troms, North Norway long remained a mystery to us. However, the topic has ...

The factors behind the immigration of spruce (Picea abies) to southern Sweden are evaluated using data from pollen analysis, dendrochronology and historical sources. According to pollen analyses from large lakes and wetlands, spruce arrived from the north to the region of Götaland approximately...

Growth-ring widths were measured in core samples from 14-18 trees at each of 14 localities in W. Norway. The oldest rings were for the yr 1586. Av. growth-ring series were computed for each locality and the effect was examined of various types of correction (especially for age and autocorrelation). ...

Conclusions are based on 23, 428 annual-ring measurements in living trees of Spruce or Pine and 4322 in building timber. Ording's standard scale for E. Norway [cf. F.A. 5 p. 144] could not be used for dating the Gudbrandsdal curve. Even within Gudbrandsdal the correlation between curves for...

Gives in diagrams, graphs and tables (with English and Norwegian legends) annual-ring-width data for different parts of Trondelag, based on about 182, 000 measurements of nearly 62, 500 different annual rings, from living material and old building timbers of Spruce and Pine, dating back to the 15th ...

Approximately 23, 500 measurements were made on 12, 200 growth rings of Scots Pine. A standard series for the years 1815-1954 was based on 11 discs from trees felled in 1951 plus borer samples from 11 standing trees. The correlation between this series and that for E. Norway previously published by ...

Annual-ring measurements were made on 6 Spruces from Halling-Hovreslia, and the curves obtained (covering the years 1695-1934) were compared with each other and with those from material from other parts of the country. Fairly good correlations were obtained among the 6 trees and between them and...
