Dendrochronological studies of Juniperus polycarpos in alborz mountains (case study: Shahkuh of shahrood)

The objectives of research were to create tree ring chronology of juniper trees and investigation on the relationship between the growth rate of the tree and the climate. Juniper trees are naturally distributed in High Mountain with semi-arid and arctic climate condition of Iran. Samples were collec...
