Monthly river flow modeling using earlywood vessel feature changes, and tree-rings

Temporal records of river flow as essential data for water resource management plans are not available in many rivers around the world. In this study, monthly discharges of the Taskoh river in the north of Iran were simulated using dendrohydrology (the earlywood vessels and tree- rings chronologies)...
