The Relevance of Dendrographic Studies to Tree-Ring Research

The annual increment growth measured by dendrographs on three different species is essentially a linear function of tree-ring width. The bark increment remains more or less constant. Records from dendrographs can therefore be employed in studying the environmental and physiological determinants of ring width.This item is part of the Tree-Ring Research (formerly Tree-Ring Bulletin) archive.
