INTRODUCTION Tree-ring analyses address many important scientific questions regarding climate (Cook et al. 2004; Tardiff et al. 2006; Villalba et al. 2012), ecology (Speer et al. 2001; Daniels and Veblen 2004; Amoroso et al. 2012; Srur et al. 2013), and human interactions with the environment (Stahle et al. 1998). The dating of tree rings to exact calendar years is one of the fundamental concepts of dendrochronology and it is necessary for assessing such research questions (Speer 2010)...
