Two stem core samples of 10 trees outside the plot of each main species in the plot were taken at breast height (1.3 m above ground) with a SUUNTO corer. Tree ring width and density were determined with the instruments CATRAS and TSAP, the Densitometer DENDRO 2003 and a stereo-microscope. The selected trees included at least 10 pre-dominant or dominant trees.
Purpose:
N and C stable isotope signals
