Radiocarbon Dating of an Olive Tree Cross-Section: New Insights on Growth Patterns and Implications for Age Estimation of Olive Trees

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The age of living massive olive trees is often assumed to be between hundreds and even thousands of years. These estimations are usually based on the girth of the trunk and an extrapolation based on a theoretical annual growth rate.

Seasonal variations in the stable oxygen isotope ratio of wood cellulose reveal annual rings of trees in a Central Amazon terra firme forest

open access: yesOecologia, 2015
In Amazonian non-flooded forests with a moderate dry season, many trees do not form anatomically definite annual rings. Alternative indicators of annual rings, such as the oxygen (δ18Owc) and carbon stable isotope ratios of wood cellulose (δ13Cwc), have ...

Chronological levels of As, Pd, V, and Sr in 356-year-old Pinus nigra annual rings in Northern Türkiye

open access: yesBioResources
The accumulation and allocation of heavy metals—arsenic (As), strontium (Sr), palladium (Pd), and vanadium (V)—were measured in Pinus nigra wood over more than three centuries.

Tree-ring chronologies as an indicator of fluctuation of water level in the Andreevskoe lake system in the beginning of the XIX — XXI century

open access: yesВестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2017
The article analyzes tree-ring chronologies of contemporary pines growing on different hypsometric marks in relation to the modern level of the Andreevskoe lakes, on the low-ridges of terrace-like formations, floodplain lowlands and riams.

Directional variance analysis of annual rings

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010
The wood quality measurement methods are of increasing importance in the wood industry. The goal is to produce more high quality products with higher marketing value than is produced today. One of the key factors for increasing the market value is to provide better measurements for increased information to support the decisions made later in the ...

Influence of position within the tree stem according to growth-ring width of spruce (Picea abies /L./ KARST.) with compression wood

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2004
The work was focused on problematics of annual-rings width according to position within the tree stem. Annual-ring widths, ratio of late wood and early wood by spruce with compression wood were investigated.

SabaTracheid 1.0: A Novel Program for Quantitative Analysis of Conifer Wood Anatomy — A Demonstration on African Juniper From the Blue Nile Basin

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Knowledge about past climates, especially at a seasonal time scale, is important as it allows informed decisions to be made to mitigate future climate change.

Comparative analysis of annual rings of perennial forbs in the Loess Plateau, China

open access: yes, 2016
Although recent studies have demonstrated that annual growth rings are present among perennial forbs species at high northern latitudes, little is known about whether there are demarcated growth rings of perennial forbs in the Loess Plateau of China ...

Laser Photoacoustic Detection of CO2 in Old Disc Tree-Rings

open access: yesSensors, 2010
A homemade CO2–laser photoacoustic spectrometer has been used for monitoring CO2 in gas samples extracted under vacuum from the wood of old spruce disc tree-rings for a ~60 year series.

Oxygen isotopes as a valuable tool for measuring annual growth in tropical trees that lack distinct annual rings

open access: yes, 2014
Some trees from tropical areas lack visually detectable and consistent annual growth rings. As such, we have measured the radial variation of cellulose oxygen isotopes in trees that grow in seasonally dry forests of Northern Laos to explore the ...
