[essentialARB]

Haven't seen the article yet, Margaret has been kind enough to send me on a copy.

 

Climate for sure plays a part.

 

We carried out some ring counts, and the noticable thing is how large the growth rings are compared to timber of similar dimentions back here in the Uk.

 

 

I think the verdicts still out awaiting due proceessing of the data, but you may be right.

 

There will be a publishing of the whole project later next year.

Some really nice trees there, what sort of area do they cover? Just pockets or a large forest?

 

Huge tracts of mountain side Tom, often at 8m spacings, the whole area is truly inspiring.

 

Will be back for sure

 

Some scenery shots

No need to shout, I've got a headache

 

 

Was more interested in climbing and looking at the Trees tbh, and only took a passing interest in the tomography data that the Spanish Arbs were interpreting.

 

I'm sure you'd get/or indeed already have, a comprehensive reply from regular users

 

Kellykettle was a godsend

 

 

The group had opportunity to look at various methods of detection, Resistograph, pressler borers, compaction tests as well as tomography.

 

One of the most fascinating observations was seeing advantitious sprouting from the cambium around axe incisions.

 

Also comparing the callous condition and surface landscape between the axe & chainsaw cuts, was non conclusive but fascinating nonetheless.

Margaret, there is a schedule for dissemination of the tours information, which among other places includes a staff forum Ppt I gave last week, this here at AT, and also inclussion in the trade mags, journals & the ATF web site from somepoint early next year.

 

I'll have a chat with Helen Read to see where & who is proposed to be asked to run it.
