Tropical dendrochemistry: A novel approach to estimate age and growth from ringless trees

open access: closedGeophysical Research Letters, 2006
Although tropical forests play an active role in the global carbon cycle and climate, their growth history remains poorly characterized compared to other ecosystems on the planet. Trees are prime candidates for the extraction of paleoclimate archives as they can be probed sub‐annually, are widely distributed and can live for over 1400 years [Chambers ...

Reconstruction of heavy metal(loid) pollution history based on dendrochemistry in Jiuzhaigou World Natural Heritage site, southwestern China

open access: closedEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
Heavy metal(loid)s are widely regarded as important environmental pollutants and have attracted extensive attention. In addition to such areas with frequent human activities as cities and industrial areas, the heavy metal(loid) pollution in remote areas lacking long-term monitoring data also deserves attention.

The what, how, why, and when of dendrochemistry: (paleo)environmental information from the chemical analysis of tree rings

open access: closedScience of The Total Environment, 2020
The chemical analysis of tree rings has attracted the interest of researchers in the past five decades in view of the possibility of exploiting this biological indicator as a widely available, high-resolution environmental archive. Information regarding the surrounding environment can be derived either by directly measuring environmental variables ...

Testing the applicability of dendrochemistry using X-ray fluorescence to trace environmental contamination at a glassworks site

open access: closedScience of The Total Environment, 2020
The potential of dendrochemistry as a tool for tracing anthropogenic contamination at a glassworks site in southeastern Sweden was investigated through a multidisciplinary approach combining continuous high-resolution time series of tree rings and sediment profiles. Tree cores from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), Norway spruce (Picea abies) and European

Application of tree rings [dendrochemistry] for detecting historical trends in air Hg concentrations across multiple scales

open access: closedBiogeochemistry, 2014
Tree rings are a useful long term monitor of climate change indicators and certain atmospheric constituents. Since we have no long-term historical record of air mercury (Hg) concentrations, and previous research demonstrates atmospheric uptake of Hg into vegetative biomass, we hypothesized that tree rings would be a useful archive for monitoring ...

Dendrochemistry of White Mountain bristlecone pines: An investigation via Synchrotron Radiation Scanning X‐Ray Fluorescence Microscopy [PDF]

open access: closedJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2009
Synchrotron Radiation Scanning X‐Ray Fluorescence Microscopy (SXFM) was used for the first spatially/temporally resolved investigation of the multielemental chemistry of bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva D.K. Bailey). A new protocol was designed to apply this nondestructive method of analysis to this unique palaeoclimatological resource, extracting ...

Phytoforensics, Dendrochemistry, and Phytoscreening: New Green Tools for Delineating Contaminants from Past and Present

open access: closedEnvironmental Science & Technology, 2011
As plants evolved to be extremely proficient in mass transfer with their surroundings and survive as earth's dominant biomass, they also accumulate and store some contaminants from surroundings, acting as passive samplers. Novel applications and analytical methods have been utilized to gain information about a wide range of contaminants in the ...

Dendrochemistry and soil clay geochemistry applied to exploration for deep U mineralization at the Halliday Lake Prospect, Athabasca Basin, Canada

open access: closedGeochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis, 2016
Drilling at the c. 750 m deep Halliday Lake prospect in the Athabasca Basin has identified features favourable for unconformity-related U mineralization such as sandstone enrichments in pathfinder elements, graphitic metapelite gneiss, sandstone and basement hosted faulting, hydrothermal alteration and sub-economic ...
