Cyclic Changes of Climate in Europe During the Last Millenium According to Dendrological Data
Abstract The paper discusses periodic climate changes in Europe determined on the basis of dendrochronological data dating back one thousand years. In tree-ring width sequences of trees growing in Poland there are approximately 8-, 11-, 100- and 180- year periods. The tree-ring widths of oaks growin...
