Plant age and variations in growth unveiled by herb-chronology in alpine forbs
Analyses of annual rings in plants provide a posteriori insights into plant growth. Dietz and Fattorini (663-668) demonstrate the presence of annual rings in the roots of different experimentally grown alpine forbs and suggest that year-specific variations in growth ring width reflect fluctuations in climatic growth conditions.
