The effects of climate change on predatory fishes in deep shelf areas are difficult to predict because complex processes may govern food availability and temperature at depth. We characterised the net impact of recent environmental changes on hapuku (Polyprion oxygeneios), an apex predator found in continental slope habitats (>200 m depth) by using dendrochronology techniques to develop a multi...

The growth of one or more individuals in a forest is variable with the biotic and abiotic conditions environment. Therefore, objective this article was to obtain age estimates Araucaria angustifolia, different altitude gradients occurrence species, identify culmination points basal area. study covered three areas Forest Santa Catarina state, considering altitudes species. Non-destructive sample...

The Royal flagship Gribshunden carried the Danish King Hans on its way to city of Kalmar in Sweden when ship sank summer 1495. caught fire while anchored north Stora Ekö Island and seafloor, where it lies this day. wreck was rediscovered 1970s is remarkably well preserved. Since 2001, scientific investigations have been performed by various organizations. In total, 13 dendrochronological sample...

The effect of different conservation methods on non-destructive dendrochronology with micro-computed tomography (μCT) waterlogged archaeological wood (WAW) was assessed. To this end, oak samples were conserved alcohol-ether-resin, Kauramin 800®, lactitol/trehalose, saccharose, silicone oil and polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatments subsequent freeze-drying. Tree-ring measurements compared respect...

The paper presents the results of scanning mechanical properties coniferous (common pine Pinus sylvestris) and deciduous (small-leaved lime Tilia cordata common oak Quercus robur) trees wood using naation on crosscut face. Manifold increase in microhardness H Young's modulus E has been observed between early late every annual growth ring. Significant differences intraring radial dependencies ha...

Specialized and systematic underwater fieldwork at the prehistoric site of Plo?a Mi?ov Grad Gradište (North Macedonia) on eastern shore Lake Ohrid was undertaken in 2018 2019. It has substantiated archeological site’s outstanding preservation condition, furthermore proven numerous construction timbers’ suitability for dendrochronological analysis. Dendrochronological analysis archaeological tim...

Fire is an important natural disturbance and a driver of hemi-boreal forest successional trajectories, structural complexity, biodiversity. Understanding the historic fire regime step towards sustainable management. Focusing on Lithuania’s forests, we first mapped potential regimes based relationship between site conditions, vegetation, frequency using ASIO model. The model revealed that all ca...
