| Description | ill.; Thesis (M.S.)--Saint Joseph's University, 2003; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 71-78) Abstract In this study, dendrochronological methods were used to understand how whitebark pine responds to climate in the Pacific Northwest. Whitebark pine cores were extracted, dated and their growth patterns were correlated with monthly temperature and precipitation to determine the short-term effects of climate at 27 sites at Crater Lake, Mount Rainier, and North Cascades National Parks. Six of the 27 sites showed no significant correlation between climate and whitebark growth. The...
