Tree Rings in Tropical Callitris macleayana F. Muell.

Abstract

Growth rings were examined in trees of Callitrzs macleayana from the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland, Australia. The climate is tropical with a distinct dry season that induces regular annual growth rings. A correlation of 0 74 was found between annual ring widths and the duration of the wet seasons. The potential of this species for dendrochronological study is apparent.
