Fundamentals of Tree Ring Research
Tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) is a method of scientific dating based on the analysis of tree-ring growth patterns. Although there are other scientific means of dating climatic and environmental events, dendrochronology provides the most reliable of all paleorecords. As author James Speer notes, trees are remarkable bioindicators.
It includes a history of the discipline, biological and ecological background, principles of the field, basic scientific information on the structure and growth of trees, the Dendrochronology can be applied to very old trees to provide long-term records of past temperature, rainfall, fire, insect outbreaks, landslides, hurricanes, and ice storms--to name only a few events.This comprehensive text addresses all of the subjects that a reader who is new to the field will need to know and will be a welcome reference for practitioners at all levels.
