We kindly invite you to listen to the workshop led by Dr. Krzysztof Ufnalski, titled “Method of extracting earlywood and latewood for stable carbon and oxygen isotopes analysis.”
Investigation of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in the annual growth increments of trees is an effective method for reconstructing the physiological responses of trees to changing environmental factors. Advanced analyses require precise sampling of material using an increment borer. To effectively separate samples by year, it is necessary to assign them to specific calendar years. For this purpose, dendrochronological analysis is used, which involves measuring the width of the tree’s annual growth increments and synchronizing them with the corresponding calendar years.
