Description:
The goal of this research is to determine the relationship between ten years of eddy flux carbon exchange measurements and tree-ring growth records of red oak at Harvard Forest (HF), MA. Tree-ring analysis will place the HF studies in the context of growth variations over the last 60-70 years. Using dendrochronological data and analyses, this study will determine the relative influences of ecological and climatic impacts on carbon storage.
