Information

EuroDendro is the conference of the European Working Group for Dendrochronology. The conference will give the opportunity to present all topics of tree-ring research and related fields of science (like climatology, forestry, archaeology etc.). Because of the intense work of the organisers at Hallstatt the main topic will be “The long history of wood utilization”. So we invite you to focus on topics like wood utilization, forest history, historical dating and so on.

There will be four sessions:

1) Forest and wood utilization:
Invited topics: (pre)historical dating, set up of long chronologies, wood utilization, wood working technology, forest history, etc.

2) Dendroclimatology:
Invited topics: climate-growth relationships, tree physiology, climate change, climate reconstruction, plant migrations, etc.

3) Forest growth, dynamics and protection against mass movements:
Invited topics: forest growth, forest dynamics, disturbances, competition, mortality, mass movements, geomorphology, etc.

4) Wood formation and wood anatomy:
Invited topics: wood formation, wood anatomy, growth modelling, dendrometer, pinning etc.

The conference language is English.

Each session will be initiated by an introductory talk (key note). We ask for oral presentations and posters. There will be time for 25 oral presentations (total).The time for each talk will be 20 minutes (15 minutes talk and 5 minutes for discussion). Posters should be presented by two Power-Point slides at the plenary meeting, followed by discussions in front of the posters. Posters should not exceed the A0-format (portrait) and will be on display during the whole meeting.
