Blue Intensity (BI) is a cost-effective analytical method for measuring relative wood density in the rings of conifer tree species. Since early concept papers in the 1990s/2000s, there has been a recent explosion in the application of this method for both dendroclimatology and historical dating as well as other dendro-disciplines. The beauty of BI is that the analytical costs, mainly related to the cost of a h...

Ring-width (RW) and Blue Intensity (BI) parameters (earlywood - EWB, inverted latewood – LWBinv, and delta - DB) were measured from samples of Araucaria araucana from six sites in northern Patagonia, Argentina. The distance between the most southerly and northerly sites is ca. 130 kms. Despite a much weaker between-tree signal for the BI parameters than RW, principal component analysis identifies a much stronger regional between-site signal for the BI parameters. Split period correlation r...
