A Network for Advancing Dendrochronology, Dendrochemistry and Dendrohydrology in South America

open access: yesTree-Ring Research, 2020
Tree-ring research (TRR) in South America (SA) continues to make important contributions in multiple sub-disciplines, including dendrochemistry and dendrohydrology. This report describes some of the advances in TRR in SA presented in a two-day International Meeting Research entitled “An International Network to Promote Advances in Dendrochronology in ...

Preserving air pollution forest archives accessible through dendrochemistry

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Management, 2020
Plants 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 ...

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

open access: yesScience 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

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

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

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
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 ...

Change in the dendrochemistry of sacred fir close to Mexico City over the past 100 years

Environmental Pollution, 1999
The chemistry of the tree-rings of sacred fir (Abies religiosa) growing in the high elevation forest park, Desierto de los Leones, close to Mexico City was measured in 5 year increments dating back to 1897. Surface soil beneath sampled trees had elevated concentrations of trace metals, especially Pb, Cd and Zn, compared with a reference site at San ...

If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. This study stands among a few comprehensive dendrochemical investigations that utilized an extensive dataset and energy dispersive X ...
