Abstract—

Gases desorbed by the vacuum method from the tree rings of discs of deciduous trees are measured. The content of residual gases vacuum-desorbed from tree rings is analyzed with an optoacoustic gas analyzer with a tunable CO2 laser. The chronologies of residual CO2 and (CO2 + H2O) of some deciduous trees growing near the city of Tomsk (Western Siberia) have been derived. All the chronologies are cyclic with pronounced 2–4-year cycles. A correlation was found between the content of gases and summer temperatures and precipitation. We believe that the annual distribution of residual gases in the discs reflects the pattern of annual release of the gases from the stems of the deciduous trees into the atmosphere.
