A new paper led by Jan Tumajer and involving many other colleagues from Prague (Charles University, Czech University of Life Sciences, Czech Academy of Sciences) has been published in Global Change Biology. In this study, linear and nonlinear climate-growth models for spruce and pine stands across Central Europe were compared in order to identify the […]

Ryszard Kacka and colleagues have published a video tutorial on the measurement of blue intensity (BI) – a parameter that represents ring density. BI is increasingly used in dendro-sciences due to its relatively simple measurement technique and its cost-effectiveness. For more information about BI and its measurement, check out the accompanying article published in Dendrochronologia.
