Welcome to the site dedicated to Dendrochronological
Studies in Bulgaria
We have created it to present in brief
the scientists, research projects and topics, study sites
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.
NEW: In the period
2-4 July 2009 in Velingrad, Bulgaria there was a meeting
to discuss "tree ring studies" in South-Eastern
Europe. The topic was "DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSES
OF CLIMATE CHANGES IN SOUTH EAST EUROPE". Please, follow
the
link to read more.
We have worked mainly with those species:
Coniferous:
- Picea abies
- Pinus sylvestris
- Pinus peuce
- Pinus heldreichii (also
known as Pinus leucodermis)
- Pinus mugo (ssp. Turra)
- Abies alba
Deciduous:
- Fagus sylvatica
- Quercus ssp.- mainly Q.robur
The study sites are in the mountains
of Bulgaria (including treeline) as well as in valleys (Quercus
ssp.).
Active laboratories are the one in the
University
of Forestry and in the Institute of Forestry. They are
equipped with basic tools for cores collection (increment
borers), and tree-ring measurement (tree ring widths).
Please, follow the links to the left
to learn more about our work.
