Tree Ring Dating, and its Practical Application

Have you ever wondered why so many towns have an Elm Street, but there are no elms on it? Dutch Elm Disease was accidentally introduced in the late s from the old world and quickly decimated the stately shade tree throughout its range, exposing the shaded boulevards and the floodplain forest floor, where they naturally grow best, to the bright summer sun. But scientists, arborists, land managers and interested citizens are working diligently to help the majestic American Elm reign once again. The scientists are taking branch clippings from over 60 feet high in the canopy to pair this tree with other resistant trees across the region. Like an online elm dating site, when the flower buds from the cuttings open in a few weeks, the pollen will be harvested and matched to other disease resistant trees. The Nature Conservancy Vermont has planted thousands of these trees in the floodplain of the Connecticut River in the hopes of establishing these native trees once again in the floodplain forest where they belong. You can plant them too.

Authors Stokes and Smiley first explain the basic principles of tree-ring dating, then describe details of the process, step by step, from the time a sample is collected until it is incorporated into a master chronology.
