Welcome to the site dedicated to Dendrochronological
Studies in Bulgaria
We have created it to present in brief

and species and active laboratories.
In several brief sentences:
We are interested mostly in the study
of the influence of climate-related topics, disturbances,
forest dynamics and pollution on tree rings. You can read
more about the study topics in the Research set of pages.
