Photoacoustic analysis of CO2 content in annual tree rings

  • BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS

Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

We have used laser photoacoustic gas analysis to study the CO2 content sorbed by the capillary porous system of annual rings in cross-sectional disks of some conifers. The measurement results showed that in most cases, the CO2 content in gas samples extracted by the vacuum method from annual rings in the disks is higher than the CO2 content in atmospheric air. In the disks, we observe an annual trend in the CO2 concentration, correlating in a number of cases with a rise in atmospheric CO2. The annual trend in the average value of the CO2 concentration change sign from positive to negative. We hypothesize that the observed pattern for the annual distribution of CO2 in the disks is connected with a rise in atmospheric CO2 and a change in the concentration gradient between stem and atmospheric CO2.
