Most dendrochronological studies on conifers in Moscow region and on Russian plain in general focused to Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway Spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst). This study is focused on the chronology analysis in non-native pines from Strobi section: Eastern white pine (Pinus...

Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) is considered a signature species in eastern North America, particularly in New England. In recent years, however, white pine has experienced increased damage due to native pathogens that reduce the species' growth, productivity, and economic value. One disease of ...

Three tree-ring chronologies of white pine (Pinus strobus), a species which are non-native to Europe, were constructed for Suuremõisa, Jädivere and Järvselja sites in Estonia. These chronologies were related to instrumental climate records and Scots pine (P. sylvestris) chronologies from nearby...

Background: The main objective of this study was to examine the climatic sensitivity of the radial growth response of 13 eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) provenances planted at seven test sites throughout the northern part of the species' native distribution in eastern North America. Methods:...

This proceedings contain 8 papers providing insight into some current avenues of Canadian tree-ring research, and illustrates the breadth and confidence of dendrochronological investigations in Canada. Topics covered include: using dendrochronology to date the Val Comeau canoe, New Brunswick and...

Tree growth rings from three specimens in two different aged (14- and 77-year old) white pine plantation forests were analyzed for stable carbon isotope ratios to identify both short- and long-term variations in physiological response to changing environmental conditions. Three isotopic (δ¹³C_corr)...

Kniazevska kultura is among the oldest large-scale plantations (1893) in Bulgaria. It provides the opportunity to analyze the long-term growth of local and introduced coniferous tree species and use the conclusions to select optimal species for future plantings. Our results show consistent good...

This paper examines the dendrochronological analysis that was needed to establish the construction date of the Val Comeau canoe. The canoe was unearthed in northeastern New Brunswick after a large storm hit the area. It is currently housed at the New Brunswick Provincial Museum in Saint John, and...

Forests of eastern North America have undergone abrupt transformations over the last several centuries due to changing land use and climate. Researchers look to pre-settlement forests as a guide for forest restoration, though much of our understanding of composition and dynamics in pre-settlement...

We used historical documents, stand mapping, and new methods of dendrochronological analysis to reconstruct 250 y of land-use history of the Simes Tract in Petersham, MA. These data were then used to interpret the origin of the current forest's stand structure within the experimental plots of the...
