A multilingual glossary of dendrochronology

Abstract

The Multilingual Glossary of Dendrochronology, published in 1995, is the result of the international effort of 53 scientists who participated in the definition and translation of 351 terms in 7 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. The editors have selected terms referring to concepts and methods of dendrochronology, related to wood anatomy, forest ecology and silviculture, or used in fields that rely on dendrochronologically dated material. Figures and linguistic and technical notes provide further information. An annex to the volume provides a list of sources and a multilingual list of 124 tree species relevant to dendrochronology.
