Tree-ring chronologies can be used to date historical buildings and furniture by matching them with the chronologies of living trees or previously dated samples. Tree-ring dating gives a calender year to each tree ring and produces the felling dates of logs or woods which had been used for buildings. In Korea, several chronologies of Japanese red pine(Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.,'sonamu' in Korean), a major species for the wooden building materials, have been developed and used for dating historical buildings. Daejojeon of Changduck Palace is known to be reconstructed in A.D. 1920 after burned-out in A.D. 1917. Instead of new woods, Daejojeon was reconstructed by reusing the woods of Kyotaejeon in Kyungbok Palace. We sampled total of 26 wood samples which were replaced during the repair process of Daejojeon in 1995. Felling dates of the samples were determined by the dendrochronological crossdating method. Crossdating method employs graphic comparison of the master patterns (ring-width plots of living trees or known dates) with those of the sample chronologies of unknown dates. The cutting dates of Daejojeon woods were divided in two groups. One was the late 1860s and the other 1880s. The results confirmed that Kyotaejeon was reconstruced first in the A.D 1860s and then in late 1880s after burning out in 1876.

Tree-ring chronologies can be used to date historical buildings by matching them with the chronologies of living trees or previously dated samples. Tree-ring dating gives a calendar year to each tree ring and produces the felling dates of logs or woods which had been used for buildings. In Korea, several chronologies of Japanese red pine(Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc., 'sonamu' in Korean), a major species for the wooden building materials, have been developed and used for dating historical buildings. In this study, Tongmyungjeon Hall of Changkyung Palace in Seoul was dated by tree rings. The present Tongmyungjeon Hall was known to be reconstructed in A.D. 1834 after burned-out in A.D. 1790. We sampled total of 122 wood samples which were replaced during the repair process in 2002-2003. Felling dates of the samples were determined by the dendrochronological crossdating method. Crossdating method employs graphic comparison of the master patterns (ring-width chronologies of known dates) with those of the sample chronologies of unknown dates. Tree-ring dates confirmed that the reconstruction of 1834 utilized second-handed timbers as well as fresh-cut ones. The felling dates of wooden floor frames were mostly A.D. 1913, indicating the 'Ondol' floors were changed to the wooden floors around 1914 when the Japanese rulers brutally destroyed the royal Korean Palaces and transformed palace buildings to their offices or exhibition halls after occupying Korea in 1910. This study proved that tree-ring dating was a useful and accurate method to identify the critical dates for the history of Korean traditional buildings.

Kangrung is a royal tomb for King Myoungjong and his wife, Queen Jeongsun. According the record, Myoungjong died on 1567 and was buried in the present location at Gongrungdong, Nowonku, Seoul. During the 2006 repair for the Jeongjagak (memorial hall) and Bigak (tombs' house) of Kangrung, a dendrochronological analysis had been conducted. We took 79 samples, 74 from Jeongjagak and 5 from Bigak, respectively, for dating. There were three major cutting groups, i.e., 1692-1694, 1737, and 1859-1861. The first group was well matched with the date of reconstruction, which was written on the 'Sangryangmun', a formal record about building activities. The tree-ring results confirmed that the present buildings of Jeongjagak and Bigak in Kangrung were reconstructed in 1695. The second and third cutting groups indicated major repairs in Bigak.

To analyze the relationship between climatic factors (monthly mean temperature and total precipitation) and tree-ring growths of Quercus mongolica Fischer (Mongolian oak) with different topographic sites in Mt. Worak, more than 10 trees were selected from each of seven stands. Two cores from each tree were measured for ring width. After crossdating, each ring-width series was double standardized by fitting first a negative exponential or straight regression line and secondly a 60-year cubic spline. Seven stands were categorized in two groups using cluster analysis for tree-ring index patterns. Cluster I (four stands) was located in higher elevation (550-812 m) with aspects of east, west and northwest, and cluster II (three stands) was located in rather lower election (330-628 m) with aspects of north and northwest. The aspects of two clusters were not significantly different. Response-function analysis showed a significant positive response to March precipitation for both clusters. It indicates that moisture supply during early spring season is important to radial growth because the cambial growths of ring-porous species, such as Mongolian oak, start before leaf growth. Cluster II showed a positive response to the precipitation of middle and late growing season, too.

Six pine trees (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) at the Euilimji Lake Park in Jecheon were collected to investigate tree ages, growth decline pattern and the years of death. Tree-ring measurement was carried out using the Lintab with a resolution of 0.01mm. Tree age were 80-176 years. Cross-dating between the tree-ring series of each tree and the local chronology from Worak Mountain resulted that four and two trees died in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Three dead trees had only formed earlywood in the outermost tree ring and the others had incomplete latewood. Therefore, it was proven that the former trees died between spring and early summer, whereas the later ones died during late summer and/or autumn. The simultaneous deaths of trees suggest the insect damage and/or drought may be the crucial reason of the death, but frequent reaction woods, which were formed by leaning stem, and scars formed by physical damage may also contribute to the death.

본 연구는 연륜연대학적 방법을 이용하여 노거수 수령의 정확한 추정을 위해 수행되었다. 연구지역은 충청북도 괴산군(CBGS), 전라남도 구례군(JNGR), 경상북도 울진군(GBUJ)이며, 수종은 각 지역의 보호수로 지정된 느티나무와 소나무로 하였다. CBGS, JNGR, GBUJ에서 채취한 느티나무는 각각 12, 8, 6본이며, 소나무는 각각 10, 3, 9본이다. 시료(생장편)는 생장추(직경 5.2 mm)를 이용하여 채취하였다. 정확한 연륜측정을 위해 느티나무는 활주식 마이크로톰으로 횡단면을 절삭하였으며, 소나무는 사포를 이용하여 횡단면을 연마하였다. 연륜폭은 이용하여 0.01 mm 정확도로 측정하였다. 느티나무의 경우 CBGS와 GBUJ에서 203 (1813~2015)년의 연륜연대기가 작성되었으며, JNGR에서는 175 (1841~2015)년의 연륜연대기가 성공적으로 작성되었다. 소나무의 경우 CBGS, JNGR, GBUJ에서 각각 154(1862~2015)년, 175 (1841~2015)년, 250 (1776~2015)년의 연륜연대기가 성공적으로 작성되었다. 느티나무와 소나무의 지역별 대표연륜연대기를 상호 비교한 결과 대부분 낮은 t 값과 Glk 값을 보여 대표연륜연대기 상호간 일치도가 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 최근 50년 평균 기온과 강수량 분포도를 지역별 대표연륜연대기와 비교한 결과, 지역별 대표 연륜연대기 패턴은 온도보다 강수량에 의해 결정되는 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 향후 연륜연대학적 방법을 이용한 정확한 수령추정을 위해선 강수량이 고려된 지역별 대표연륜연대기가 준비되어야 할 것이다.

소나무 직경생장과 기후인자(월 평균기온과 총강수량)와의 관계를 지형적 특성에 따라 분석하기 위하여 월악산국립공원에서 선정한 20개의 임분에서 각각 10여 본의 임목에 대한 연륜을 측정하였다. 각 연륜계열들은 크로스데이팅 한 후, 임령과 임분동태에 따른 임목생장 추세를 제거하기 위하여 표준화함으로써 임분별 연륜연대기를 작성하였다. 연륜의 생장경향을 이용한 집락분석의 결과 20개 임분을 4개의 집락으로 분류할 수 있었다. 집락 Ⅰ 의 사면 방향은 북쪽이었으나, 다른 집락들은 대부분 남족과 남서쪽이었다. 고도는 집락Ⅰ(1개 임분), 집락Ⅱ(10개 임분), 집락Ⅲ(2개 임분)이 305∼580 m이었으나, 집락Ⅳ(7개 임분)는 다른 집락들보다 높은 450～870 m이었다 이중 집락Ⅱ는 다른 집락보다 토심이 얕은 급경사의 암석지에 위치하였다. 지형에 따른 기후인자들과 연륜생장과의 관계를 분석하기 위해 반응함수를 집락별로 실시하였다. 집락Ⅰ은 북사면의 다소 중습한 지역에 위치하여 다른 집락보다 기후인자의 영향을 많이 받지 않았다. 집락 Ⅱ는 강수가 임목생장을 제한하는 주요인으로 나타났는데, 이는 집락 Ⅱ가 낮은 고도에 위치하면서 토심이 얕은 급경사의 암석지에 위치하여 수분에 대한 임목생장의 민감도가 증가한 것이라 생각된다. 집락Ⅲ과 집락Ⅳ는 집락Ⅱ에 비하여 임목생장 개시 이전의 겨울과 이른봄의 기온이 보다 중요한 인자로 나타났다. 이런 결과는 고도 상승에 따른 기온 감소(집락Ⅳ)나 계곡부의 미소지형적 특성에 따른 온도 저하(집락Ⅲ)로 발생되는 결과라 생각된다. 이상의 결과는 GIS를 이용하여 수치화 하여 연륜과 지형이 갖는 시-공간적 정보들을 동시에 분석한 결과이다.
