Growth Dynamics of Conifer Tree Rings Images of Past and Future Envi
Each tree ring contains an image of the time when the ring formed, projected onto the ring's size, structure, and composition. Tree rings thus are natural archives of past environments, and contain records of past climate. While dendrochronologists have i

Preface
This is an expanded, enhanced, and updated version of “Growth and Structure of Tree Rings of Conifers” by E.A. Vaganov and A. Shashkin, a book that was published in Russian. Since the publication in 1976 of Harold Fritts’ seminal work “Tree Rings and Climate”, there has been a massive growth in the application of the techniques of dendrochronology in a wide range of scientific fields. Work flowing directly from that of Fritts has recently been extremely prominent in the study of the climate of recent centuries on a global scale; and other applications of dendrochronologyy have made significant impacts on, for example, disturbance ecology. In several recent cases, dendrochronologists have detected, and sought to explain, marked changes in the climate control of tree-r
