Welcome to the site dedicated to Dendrochronological
Studies in Bulgaria
We have created it to present in brief
the scientists, research projects and topics, study sites
and species and active laboratories.
In several brief sentences:
We are interested mostly in the study
of the influence of climate-related topics, disturbances,
forest dynamics and pollution on tree rings. You can read
more about the study topics in the Research set of pages.
