Abstract:
Tree rings from ring-porous species have often been used as flood proxy. Many ring-porous species produce characteristic flood rings in response to stem submersion during vessel formation. Flood rings have earlywood vessels that are more numerous and/or of smaller cross-sectional area than “normal” rings. This study aimed at determining if diffuse-porous balsam poplar and trembling aspen, like ring-porous black ash, produce anatomically distinct annual tree rings in response to flooding.
