Sampling Douglas fir trees

Time-lapse video of the activities for sampling Douglas fir trees in the forest, including cambial tissue retrieval and tree labeling.

(Video Length: 08 sec)

Cambial tissue sampling

This time-lapse video details the operations needed to retrieve the cambial tissue from the base of the Douglas fir trunk.

(Video Length: 13 sec)

Extracting wood cores

The video shows the use of a drill to extract the wood cores from the base of Douglas fir trunks.

(Video Length: 42 sec)

Tree-ring analysis

The extraction of wood cores allows for the analysis of the growing performance of each Douglas fir tree, as inferred from tree ring thickness.
