Software Programme for Measurement of Tree-Ring Width

https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2014-6-48-50

Abstract

There was developed programme for measurement of tree-ring width, which works with image in any resolution dpi (dots per inch), received with aid of frame grabber (flat-bed scanner, digital camera etc). For accuracy test of programme (measurement received results were compared with LINTAB readings, preliminary tested in laboratory. Tests were not elicited deviations in the measurements. Also, tree-ring chronology data are well correlated with Scandinavian master-chronology. From more than hundred collected by us on Kolsky Peninsula we could obtain 676 years tree-ring chronology of juniper. This series was the longest series of juniper in Russia. Also was obtained the most long (448 years) tree-ring chronology on pine for Khibiny Mountains, and on pine (561 years) for Kolsky Peninsula.
