Reconstructing Soil Recovery from Acid Rain in Beech (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i>) Stands of the Vienna Woods as Indicated by Removal of Stemflow and Dendrochemistry. [PDF]
Water Air Soil Pollut, 2019 Our goal was to reconstruct soil recovery from Acid Rain based upon removal of stemflow at beech (Fagus sylvatica) stands of known historic and recent soil status. Fourteen beech stands in the Vienna Woods were selected in 1984 and again in 2012 to study changes in soil and foliar chemistry over time.

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

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.

Tree Rings Mercury Controlled by Atmospheric Gaseous Elemental Mercury and Tree Physiology. [PDF]
Environ Sci TechnolTree rings are an emerging atmospheric mercury (Hg) archive. Questions have arisen, though, regarding their mechanistic controls and reliability. Here, we report contrasting tree-ring Hg records in three collocated conifer species: Norway spruce (Picea ...

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

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.

ForestsDendrochemistry was applied to a small town, Taylorville, Illinois, which has a superfund site and apparently more cases of cancer than expected based on background rates. As an ecologic study, dendrochemistry is not intended to unequivocally associate particular elements to specific illnesses, but rather dendrochemistry serves more generally to ...

Early- and Latewood vs. Stem Asymmetry: Which Is More Important for Dendrochemistry in Scots Pine?
ForestsFor dendrochemical research, it may be important to be aware of the effects of stem asymmetry and the intra-ring structure because these may introduce unwanted dispersion in the results. In dendrochemical studies, separate analysis of the elemental content of early- and latewood is rare.

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2021 Mining activity is often responsible for the drainage of acid or metal-enriched waters to fluvial systems. The release of metals is especially disturbing due to the toxicity and persistence of these products and their accumulation in the biosphere. Hence,
