"Among the many fields of research pursued by Canadian Forest Service (CFS) scientists at Northern Forestry Centre (NoFC) is the field of dendrochronology. Dendrochronology, commonly known as tree-ring analysis, is the scientific study of annual growth rings in trees or wood. This is a fascinating area of study and there are many questions that can be answered in this discipline: How old are our forests? What conditions did they endure during their development and life span, for example, fire, insects, drought? Under a warming climate, are Canada's forests growing faster or slower? CFS researchers have been using tree-ring analysis at the NoFC in Edmonton, Alberta, for several decades. In the past, studies were conducted using microscopes and hand lenses in multiple offices and labs scattered throughout the building. In 2010, under the Accelerated Infrastructure Program, a single modern laboratory was built where all the samples and digital information could be consolidated, housed, and analyzed." gccst Trees gccst Forests gccst Laboratories Canada.
