Dendrochronological analysis of the growth rate of White Spruce in Whitehorse, Yukon

We used an increment bore to take core samples of 15 specimens of White Spruce, Picea glauca, then compared the observed annual growth rates observed in the tree rings to the annual mean temperature, annual precipitation, and the average of July’s temperature highs in order to show the correlation....
