Dendrochronology in Action: Methane in Trees
In this video, I show methane burning as it escapes from my increment borer. Methane build up can occur as a bi-product of microbial decay. You can hear the gas escaping from the tree when you core it. This time I had a lighter to show that the gas is indeed methane.
Please be careful when collecting tree-ring samples. This was a controlled demonstration of methane burning. No harm came to the tree or the forest.

    Confusing! Do you need to run dcc function with climate of previous year’s May to current year’s October, if the chronology is residual? Pre whitening removes autocorrelation (persisrence). Then why is it necessary to look for -5 months? Can you explain it?

  • @pramitthapa283
    @pramitthapa283 6 месяцев назад

    nice video. However, somewhere, incomplete explanation. For example, detrending method we choose depends on (17:10) the dataset and what types of signals to be retained. Do we need to understand that Cubic Smoothing Spline detrending method is for keeping climate signal (as shown in this video)? Why Freidman’s Super Smoother is not better than Spline for example for series 22, 26, 36 etc?

    Dear Maxwell, thank you very much for your video tutorials, which have been of great help to us beginners. I would like to ask you about the dcc function in R. I encountered an issue where it shows 'treeclim tries to use the maximum overlap in timespan for chronology and climate data. The overlap starts in NA, but to be able to use climate data from the previous year(s) (as you chose by setting 'selection' accordingly), the analysis starts in NA. Error in (start_year + offset):end_year: argument of length 0.' I saw someone else had the same problem in the comment section. Have there been any updates on this issue? I'd like to know the reason. Thank you.

    Hi, thanks for the great videos. I am trying to teach myself Dendrochronology, but have no background in that field. If you have a sample but you do not know where it came from, how do you go about the process of finding the correct Master Chronology? Im struggling to understand this first part. Would you plot the tree rings in Coorecoder without the Master reference and then bring the file into Cdendro and import the .rwl files from the ITRDB and try to cross match it? Then if you find a good correlation would you create a Master Chronology .wid file and use that and go back into the Coorecorder process? For example, if you were pretty sure that the wood was European and from Germany would you just import the relevant .rwl files from Germany and look for a correlation? Sorry for the stupid questions, im just a bit confused about what to do if you have an unknown sample and can't find and videos that explain this. Thanks in advance.

    Dear Maxwell, great tutorials, thank you, amigo. I just have a couple of questions with regard to this function. As I am only using CWD (from 1975:2011) as clim.dat and tr. chrono (1960:2011), I am not being able to run the previous year, also when I input: selection= .mean(6:8), the package cries this: treeclim needs at least two var. for calibration. So, I am only running selection= 6:8, in either static or evolving. Because for FIN cwd values are mostly in the summer.

    • @rawkton
      @rawkton Год назад

      Hi Diego - I believe there is a limitation in how the function runs that requires it to have at least two variables but your solution looks like it should work to see the monthly results. You might try the .mean function and a second argument to have two variables. I'd have to dig into the code to see what's going on.

Question for you - I used Coorecorder to measure my cores and Cdendro for cross-dating/preparing my .rwl files to read into dplR. Curious if you could describe the approach for averaging multiple cores from a single tree before standardization. In your video, it appeared that you had two cores from at least a portion of your trees as well. I am familiar with the treemean () function in dplR, but I am not sure how to format the data appropriately with a tree id column and a core column. Any ideas here?

    @piamuller8689 2 года назад

    Thanks for the very nice tutorial! Im new in teh field of dendrochronology and have a question regarding the sample size. Is there a minimum length for serious evaluation using dplR? I have read in the dendrochronological literature that a minimum length of 40 years is recommended (Cook, E. R.; Kairiukstis, L. A. 1990). My series are very short, from 10 to 26 years. So it works, but are that reliable results?

    • @rawkton
      @rawkton 2 года назад

      I Pia. I'm happy that the video is helpful. Ideally, you should have segment lengths longer than 40 years or it can be difficult to find significant correlations across tree-ring series. You can adjust some settings to run shorter segments in dplR or xdateR or the Cdendro program but you would need very high correlations for them to be significant. With short tree-ring series, you might need to depend on visual crossdating with marker rings (drought or cold years causing narrow rings).

    Dr. Maxwell, many thanks for your helpful tutorial! A quick troubleshooting question for you. After loading in a .rwl file, I am getting tripped up when I then select “Test towards ref.” with an error message popping up asking me to “Please, first select a sample as a Reference for the analysis!”. Prior to this step I had created a mean sample value and saved a .fil and wid file as you recommended in your video. Any thoughts about how to proceed?

    • @rawkton
      @rawkton 2 года назад

      Once you calculate your sample mean or open a .wid file, you should see an option to set as reference in the window in which the curve is displayed. It will remain the reference only as long as you have the program open. Then you can test towards reference.

    • @rawkton
      @rawkton 2 года назад

      That's a great question but a complex answer. I would recommend reading Fundamentals of Tree Ring Science by Jim Speer to get a better understanding of how dendrochronologist to address such questions. Basically, we need to select a specific site and species for different questions. Then, we should use techniques appropriate to the objective. Ecology is never simple so we need to consider interactions. You should attend the North American Dendroecological Fieldweek if you get a chance!
