AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
The suitability of mountain birch as a subject for tree ring analysis was explored in a study near JXnkYjPrvi based on a small number of samples and published monthly summaries of climatic data. Examination of the distribution Of annual wood formation along the stem, in the form of mnUal growth laye...
