Frather Eck, Bavarian Forest, Germany - GERM037 Additional Site Information Rob Wilson Purpose of Collection: Ecology, growth rate vs. elevation Measurement type: Total ring width Location of core material: In residence of Rob Wilson References: Wilson, R.J.S. and Hopfmueller, M. Dendrochronological investigations of Norway spruce along an elevational transect in the Bavarian Forest, Germany. (submitted to Dendrochronologia. Accepted April 2001). Part of a transect of spruce sites sampled to assess the change of growth/climate relationships of spruce with elevation in the Bavarian Forest. Summit site. Mixed Forest; Spruce, fir and beech. This site (and others <700 m) also express a summer precipitation signal and have been incorporated into a reconstruction of summer precipitation for the region using the standard chronology: Wilson, R.J.S. A Preliminary Reconstruction of March-August Precipitation for the last 500-years in the Lower Bavarian Forest Region, Germany.
