Preserving air pollution forest archives accessible through dendrochemistry
Journal of Environmental Management, 2020Plants are continuously exposed to human air pollution, absorbing pollutants in their tissues. Trees can store pollutants in wood, in the annual growth rings, retaining traces of pollutants in the environment. Information on past pollution events are archived by trees, which dendrochemistry, a dendrochronological science combined with chemistry, is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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
