Annual Ring Analysis
Identifying the growth characteristics of trees
Recognize growth behavior of trees
The growth behavior of trees provides important information about climatic conditions and temporary or continuing changes in the living conditions of the trees. In order to recognize and correctly measure the annual ring structure of even weakly growing trees, every last detail is important during the preparation and evaluation of the wood samples.
With the IML Measuring Table you can evaluate the annual rings of wooden cores and tree discs quickly and easily.
- Exact evaluation of annual rings of core samples and tree discs
- Identification of disturbances of development and growth as well as weak growth
- Illustration and assignment of changes, dysfunctions or weak points
- Findings about the vitality of a tree
- Possible conclusions on environmental influences
