内容説明
In the last 20 years, dendrochronology has acquired a permanent role in ecology, climatology, geology, archaeology and history. Presented here are the morphological, ecological and anatomical characteristics of different tree species and their relationship to tree-ring research. Each species is introduced by an illustration of its exterior form and described in such a manner as to make it adaptable and comparable to chronological, ecological and climate studies. Further, the soil, climatic and ecological conditions as well as the species distribution are presented, and microscopic representations, mostly cross-sections, define the tree-ring sequences. Brief summaries of previous dendrochronological studies show how the species have been used in the past.

内容説明
The science of dendrochronology has grown significantly in the past 20 years. In the 1950s and 1960s, interest in the subject was limited to only a handful of scientists who perceived in dendrochronology a "l'art pour l'art". Today, however, specialists from many different fields recognize and are pursuing the problems of dendrochronology. Tree-ring research has acquired a permanent role in the various sciences of archeology, history, geology, ecology, and climatology. The founders of dendrochronology themselves were of varied scientific backgrounds and interests. For example, A. E. Douglass in the United States was an astronomer, B. Huber in Germany a forest-biologist, and F. N. Shvedov in Russia a climatologist. Today the spectrum is even broader. Many den drochronologists are authorities in mathematics, archeology, history, forestry, botany, wood technology, ecology geography, geology, etc. It is, therefore, understandable that it has become almost impossible for one individual to encompass the entire field. Bitvinskas (1974), Fritts (1976), Schweingruber (1983), and Mitsutani (1990) have attempted, each guided by his own interests, to provide at least an overview of the field. Recently, individual aspects have been presented by groups of authors in books edited by Fletscher (1978), Hughes et al. (1982), Jacoby and Hornbeck (1987) and Bradley and Jones (1992). It is very likely that in the future summaries covering each branch of dendrochronology will be published.
