Abstract

To develop Slovenian tree-ring chronologies, ring width patterns were analysed of Quercus robur L. (pedunculate oak), Q. petraea Liebl. (sessile oak), and Fraxinus excelsior L. (European ash) from seven typical stands in the Ljubljana Moor and six locations in Central, W, S, and NE Slovenia. The wood was analysed by standard dendrochronological procedures. Cross-dating of the tree-ring series of young, fast-growing lowland oaks was generally not possible. However, slower-growing older pedunculate oak, sessile oak, and ash were able to be cross-dated within each sampled stand. Tree-ring series of slower-growing, old oaks from different locations in Slovenia were also able to be crossdated.
