Intra-annual variability of anatomical structure and δ 13 C values within tree rings of spruce and pine in alpine, temperate and boreal Europe
Tree-ring width, wood density, anatomical structure and C-13/C-12 ratios expressed as delta C-13-values of whole wood of Picea abies were investigated for trees growing in closed canopy forest stands. Samples were collected from the alpine Renon site in North Italy, the lowland Hainich site in Centr...

Tree-ring width, wood density, anatomical structure and C-13/C-12 ratios expressed as delta C-13-values of whole wood of Picea abies were investigated for trees growing in closed canopy forest stands. Samples were collected from the alpine Renon site in North Italy, the lowland Hainich site in Central Germany and the boreal Flakaliden site in North Sweden. In addition, Pinus cembra was studied at the alpine site and Pinus sylvestris at the boreal site.
