Introduction
Tasmanian montane bog forest
microhabitat for climate sensitive species
contributes to regional diversity Limited understanding of forest dynamics and climatic influences
![Page 3: Dendroecology and Dendroclimatology of a Tasmanian bog forest Daniel J. Balanzategui, Carolyn A. Copenheaver, David C. Frank, Liya Jin, Nicolas Latte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b317/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Objectives
Explore the wood anatomy of all species on the site
Reconstruct the demographic structure and stand dynamics of a mature Tasmanian bog forest
Compare the dendroclimatic response of King Billy Pine and Celery Top Pine

Field methods
38 trees sampled along a belt transect
additional King Billy Pine, Celery Top Pine, and Tea Tree (N=25) were cored from outside of the plot to increase sample size of these species
10 cross sections

Sample preparation
Cores were glued on wooden core holders
Sanded with progressively finer sand paper
Characteristics of wood anatomy were studied

Laboratory Methods
Cores dated prior to measuring
Narrow rings used for the list year method of visual crossdating
Skeleton plot for dating samples with missing outermost rings
Skeleton plot

Laboratory Methods
Crossdating was verified with COFECHA Chronologies of King Billy Pine and Celery Top
Pine were detrended by a 30-year spline in ARSTAN
Climate analyses were conducted in RStudio and MATLAB
Growth releases and suppressions were identified with the radial growth averaging criteria developed by Nowacki & Abrams

The Tasmanian bog forest established as a stand in the early 1800`s
After establishment, there was a period of high competition and few new trees started growing
Currently, the forest has frequent, local disturbance events
Conclusions
![Page 30: Dendroecology and Dendroclimatology of a Tasmanian bog forest Daniel J. Balanzategui, Carolyn A. Copenheaver, David C. Frank, Liya Jin, Nicolas Latte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b317/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Tree-ring width is positively correlated with the previous year`s precipitation, particularly in Celery Top Pine
Tree-ring width is negatively, correlated with the previous year`s temperature
In Celery Top Pine, tree-ring width is positively correlated with temperature from 2 years earlier
Conclusions
