Showing papers in "Dendrochronologia in 2002"

TL;DR: In more than 20 tropical countries and numerous tree species, the existence of annual tree-rings is doubtless proven as mentioned in this paper, but the influence of the photoperiod is questionable, since the growth is induced by short drought periods or long lasting inundation.

TL;DR: The current state of the art in tree-ring-based dendrochronology is surveyed in this paper, with an emphasis on the extent to which its actual and potential strengths are being used, and its weaknesses recognized and surmounted.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of wood anatomical and structural features observed and measured in tree- rings has been presented, focusing on continuous and non-continuous wood anatomical features measured in dated tree-rings reflecting internal and external conditions and processes.

TL;DR: The prerequisites for treering studies are shown, on a conceptual and methodical level, and implications for measurements and data processing for most applications encountered and data analysis tools are discussed.

TL;DR: The authors examines some of the recent advances in technology and describes how they have been used to bridge the gap between traditional tree-ring research and research in commercial forestry, addressing areas of interest to both.

TL;DR: In this article, a variety of approaches have been used, ranging from traditional dendrochronology to studies focussing on the chemical and physical properties of tree-rings.

TL;DR: A growing number of very local master chronologies constructed in Poland for oak (Quercus spp.) increases the possibility to localize its origin using methods of so-called dendroprovenancing, timbers from Bialowieza Forest in Eastern Poland, for example, were detected in a Scottish castle as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used tree rings to understand the sensitivity of species on a given site to environmental changes and provide information for risk assessment, which can improve wood quality control and contribute to cost efficient forest management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the possibility of reconstructing May-August maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) temperatures plus the diurnal temperature range (DTR) using ringwidth (RW) and maximum density (MXD) series from treeline sites across Interior British Columbia.

TL;DR: A synthesis of the dendroecological work conducted in the area of Lake Duparquet in the southern boreal forest of northwestern Quebec (Canada) during the last 15 years is presented, contributing to the elaboration of a natural-disturbance based forest management model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate past success, current limitations, and future potential of dendrochronology as an investigative tool for both quantifying and understanding the effects of these stressors on forests.

TL;DR: In this article, a brief overview of the issues related to climate modeling and the role that dendrochronology can play, and has already played, in this context is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dendrogeomorphological study of the Valle della Casina fan (Valle del Gallo) in the Central Italian Alps is presented, where the most recent debris flows coincide with heavy rain events recorded by the nearby meteorological station of Cancano.

TL;DR: In this article, the problems related to the combination of dendrogeomorphological information with other geochronological evidence and with other continuous time series are discussed, as well as the needs of research in dendroglacology and mass movement studies in Central Asia, the Altay, Kamchatka, and the Russian plain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a tree-ring derived information, both chronological and environmental, with other well-dated information from other proxies to provide archaeologists with the best possible background picture for their studies.

TL;DR: The more clues the authors have to the relationships between plant structure function and the environment, the better that group will be at interpreting their dendrochronological data not only to propose the most likely scenarios, but also the range of possible scenarios and their likelihoods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Groupe interdisciplinaire d'Archeometrie de ''Universite de Liege (Belgium) for three paintings attributed to Henri Bles, a Mosan landscape painter active during the second third of the 16 th century (i.e., second generation of landscape painters), is presented.

TL;DR: The most important topics that were discussed during the Archaeology session in the "Tree Rings and People" conference in Davos, Switzerland as mentioned in this paper were the relation between the archaeologists and dendrochronologists and the future perspectives of dendronology in the field of archaeology.

TL;DR: The Chalain 19 (CH19) site is the most extensively excavated site to date and the first to permit an analysis of the internal organization of these villages as discussed by the authors. But the analysis is limited to two sectors of the village: the first is densely constructed whereas the second one contains only one architectural structure.
