Branch rings, thinned rings, tree enveloping rings [PDF]
We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting on trees. In particular, for every field k we construct a k-algebra K which (1) is finitely generated and infinite-

Statistical age determination of tree rings. [PDF]
Dendrochronology, the study of annual rings formed by trees and woody plants, has important applications in research of climate and environmental phenomena of the past.

Nonannual tree rings in a climate-sensitive Prioria copaifera chronology in the Atrato River, Colombia. [PDF]
In temperate climates, tree growth dormancy usually ensures the annual nature of tree rings, but in tropical environments, determination of annual periodicity can be more complex.

Solar superstorm of AD 774 recorded subannually by Arctic tree rings [PDF]
Tree rings retain information of sudden variations of ancient radiocarbon (14C) content, however the origin and exact timing of these events often remain uncertain.

Superellipse Equation Describing the Geometries of Abies alba Tree Rings [PDF]
Our previous study using 41 tree rings of one Abies alba Mill. disc indicated that the superellipse equation can accurately fit its tree-ring shape. This study further used the superellipse equation (xan+yβn=1 ) to model the geometries of 1090 tree rings

A rapid cosmic-ray increase in BC 3372-3371 from ancient buried tree rings in China. [PDF]
Cosmic rays interact with the Earth's atmosphere to produce $^{14}$C, which can be absorbed by trees. Therefore, rapid increases of $^{14}$C in tree rings can be used to probe previous cosmic-ray events.

Tree demography dominates long-term growth trends inferred from tree rings. [PDF]
Understanding responses of forests to increasing CO2 and temperature is an important challenge, but no easy task. Tree rings are increasingly used to study such responses. In a recent study, Van der Sleen et al.

A rare study on the quantitative relationship between the energetic impact of debris flows on the intensity and duration of growth disturbances of tree rings was carried out, partly due to a lack of feasible approaches and detailed field evidence.

Olive tree-ring problematic dating: a comparative analysis on Santorini (Greece). [PDF]
Olive trees are a classic component of Mediterranean environments and some of them are known historically to be very old. In order to evaluate the possibility to use olive tree-rings for dendrochronology, we examined by various methods the reliability of
