Abstract

Foresters and scientists worldwide rely on the use of increment borers to collect wood cores from living trees for dendrochronology and a range of other applications. While there are many different types of increment borers, 4–5 mm diameter manual borers are most frequently used. Although these standard-size devices have a long history with well-established protocols, a range of newer analyses require the collection of larger diameter cores from living trees. To meet these needs, researchers worldwide have developed an array of techniques to collect these types of samples but little information is available comparing approaches and synthesizing options. Here, we summarize work testing several different commonly employed techniques for excising larger width (∼10 mm diameter) cores from living trees, comparing strengths and weaknesses of each approach. In addition to informing the selection of methods and equipment for researchers collecting larger diameter cores, this information may also provide new ideas for exploring core collection options beyond traditional increment borers.

使用商用钻头和增量钻从活树上采集大直径树芯
世界各地的林业工作者和科学家都依靠增量式凿岩机从活树上采集木芯,用于树干年代学和一系列其他应用。虽然增量式钻孔机有很多种,但最常用的是直径为 4-5 毫米的手动钻孔机。虽然这些标准尺寸的设备历史悠久,有完善的规程,但一系列新的分析需要从活体树木中采集更大直径的木芯。为了满足这些需求,世界各地的研究人员已经开发了一系列技术来采集这些类型的样本,但目前几乎没有对各种方法进行比较和综合的信息。在此,我们总结了从活体树木中提取较大宽度(直径∼10 毫米)树芯的几种不同常用技术的测试工作,并比较了每种方法的优缺点。除了为研究人员选择采集较大直径树心的方法和设备提供参考外,这些信息还可能为探索传统增量钻孔机以外的树心采集方法提供新思路。
