Focuses on the patterns of synchronous production of large seed crops known as mast-seeding and synchronous tree-ring growth among temperate zone trees. Indications of a negative correlation between seed production and tree-ring growth; Correlation of the variables with climatic factors; Use of cross-correlation analyses between tree-ring and seed production data sets.
