Radiocarbon and wood anatomy as complementary tools for generating tree-ring records in Bolivia [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The science of tropical dendrochronology is now emerging in regions where tree-ring dating had previously not been considered possible. Here, we combine wood anatomical microsectioning techniques and radiocarbon analysis to produce the first tree-ring ...

Paleoecology and paleoenvironments of Podocarp trees in the Ameghino Petrified forest (Golfo San Jorge Basin, Patagonia, Argentina): Constraints for Early Paleogene paleoclimate [PDF]
Geologica Acta, 2011 During the Early Paleocene (Danian), Central Patagonia had a warm-temperate climate and was dominated by evergreen coniferous forests. Abundant permineralized conifer woods along with some dicot and palm leaf compressions were found in the Ameghino ...

Direct Observation of the Developing Intra-Annual Density Fluctuation (IADF) for Scots Pine in Semiarid Siberian Belt Forest: External Stress Targets Cambium [PDF]
PlantsLong-term observations of the seasonal growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) tree rings in the arid conditions of the Khakass-Minusinsk Basin (southern Siberia) revealed that in 2024, trees had formed a tree ring with a typical intra-annual density ...

Towards ROXAS AI: automatic multi-species ring boundaries segmentation as regression in anatomical images [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionQuantitative wood anatomy (QWA) along a time series of tree rings (known as tree-ring anatomy or dendroanatomy) has proven to be very valuable for reconstructing climate and for investigating the responses of trees and shrubs to environmental
