Dendrochemistry in Public Health: A Case Study in North Carolina, USA [PDF]
Forests, 2022 Dendrochemistry, the measurement of element concentrations in tree rings for the purpose of assessing temporal changes in chemical environments, was used to study an area in south-central North Carolina, USA, that has experienced higher than expected incidences of a couple human illnesses.

Methodology for Development of a 600-Year Tree-Ring Multi-Element Record for Larch from the Taymir Peninsula, Russia [PDF]
Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2013 We developed a long (600-year) dataset for the concentrations of 26 elements in tree rings of larch from the Taymir Peninsula, the northernmost region in the world (ca. 72°N) where trees grow. Tree rings corresponding to the time period from 1300 to 1900

Critical Analysis of the Past, Present, and Future of Dendrochemistry: A Systematic Literature Review [PDF]
Forests, 2023 Dendrochemistry, the study of elements found within tree rings, has been used to understand environmental changes from both natural and anthropogenic sources. When used appropriately, dendrochemistry can provide a greater understanding of the elemental changes in the environment.

Riparian Dendrochemistry: Detecting Anthropogenic Gadolinium in Trees along an Effluent-Dominated Desert River [PDF]
Forests, 2022 This research documents spatial and temporal patterns of effluent uptake by riparian trees through development of a new and innovative application for dendrochronology, specifically dendrochemistry. The rare-earth element (REE) gadolinium (Gd) is a known micro-pollutant in its anthropogenic form and enters streams from wastewater treatment plants ...

Monitoring air pollution close to a cement plant and in a multi-source industrial area through tree-ring analysis. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 2021 Thirty-two trace elements were examined in the tree rings of downy oak to evaluate the pollution levels close to a cement plant isolated in a rural context and an industrial area where multiple sources of air pollution are or were present.

Challenges in the Application of Dendrochemistry in Research on Historical Environmental Pollution in an Old Copper Mining Area [PDF]
Forests, 2021 This research investigates the long-term environmental impact and historical temporal pollution patterns caused by a former copper mine in Iwiny (south-western Poland) using a dendrochemical approach. An additional aspect of this research was considering the possibility of using the inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES ...

Dendrochemistry of Multiple Releases of Chlorinated Solvents at a Former Industrial Site [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2012 Trees can take up and assimilate contaminants from the soil, subsurface, and groundwater. Contaminants in the transpiration stream can become bound or incorporated into the annual rings formed in trees of the temperate zones. The chemical analysis of precisely dated tree rings, called dendrochemistry, can be used to interpret past plant interactions ...

Reconstruction of soil pH by dendrochemistry of Masson pine at two forested sites in the Pearl River Delta, South China [PDF]
Annals of Forest Science, 2008 • Soil acidification is a global concern. Base cation (Ca, Mg, Mn and Al) concentrations, as well as their molar ratios, were measured in tree rings of Masson pines (Pinus massoniana L.) from Dinghushan and Xiqiaoshan to reconstruct the historical changes in soil acidification in the Pearl River Delta, south China.

Comparison between δ13C of α-cellulose and bulk wood in the mangrove tree Rhizophora mucronata: Implications for dendrochemistry [PDF]
Chemical Geology, 2005 Stable carbon isotope analysis of tree rings has become a widely used proxy in environmental and palaeoclimatological studies. In those studies, a-cellulose has often been the preferred material because of its singular composition and its immobility in wood.
