The objective of this investigation was to construct the chronology of the growth rings of the Jacaranda copaia (Achihua) species, to analyze with the most severe events of the El Niño phenomenon. For this, 10 J. copaia trees were collected from a relict forest in the Madre de Dios region of Peru....

Catastrophic floods and large debris flows are natural hazards common in mountain areas. They cause injuries and impact the radial growth of trees growing in the affected basins. Reconstructing how these catastrophic events impact trees by using dendrochronology improves our understanding of...

This paper provides insight into ages and patterns of radial growth from mature trees at Martin Park Nature Center, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. A total of 80 trees were sampled and crossdated using dendrochronology from the three most common genera at Martin Park Nature Center: Quercus, Celtis, and ...

Dendrochronology, the study of annual rings formed by trees and woody plants, has important applications in research of climate and environmental phenomena of the past. Since its inception in the late 19^th century, dendrochronology has not had a way to quantify uncertainty about the years assigned...

The growth rate of the diameter of trees is significantly correlated with their age; therefore, a growth model can be established to predict the dynamics of the population. To reveal the relationship between individual age and diameters at breast height (DBH) of D. involucrata, five populations...

Age and growth rate studies of blue pine, Pinus wallichiana (A.B. Jacks.) were carried out in Kuldana reserve forest of Tehsil Murree, Pakistan. Forest was divided into ten stands and cores from fifty trees were taken. Fifty samples (cores) were extracted from this forest by using Swedish increment ...

This special issue includes 5 papers presenting modern research in the field of dendrochronology in the tropics and subtropics. Topics covered include: (1) the use of tropical tree species in dendroclimatology; (2) missing and false tree-rings in African Baobabs (Adansonia spp.) from Botswana; (3)...

Climate has been demonstrated to change at different scales for as far back as we have been able to reconstruct it. However, anthropogenic factors have accelerated and are predicted to cause significant changes in temperature and precipitation around the globe. As a consequence, vegetation is being ...

Intermediate hawthorn (Crataegus × media Bechst.) is broadly distributed in Europe but very rarely examined by dendrochronologists. In NW Poland, it is one of three naturally occurring hawthorn species, growing mainly at forest margins, along roads, in mid-field woodlots, and on uncultivated land....

Increment cores with intact tree rings are crucial in dendrochronological investigations to age trees. However, it is not always possible to obtain complete cores from trees because of rot, so alternative methods need to be explored. We tested the collection of one oblique core and one straight...
