Growth & Development Tree Physiology

More to tree rings than meets the eye

Tree rings record past environmental conditions, as well as the tree’s physiological response to those conditions. Although ring widths are easily measured indicators of annual tree growth, they are limited in what they can tell us about more detailed aspects of tree physiology. Fortunately, we can use stable isotopes to help us infer the tree’s […]
