Book of Abstracts. TRACE 2018 Conference, 24-27 April 2018, Greifswald, Germany. p. 7. II Foreword Dear TRACE-participants, do you know Bruno Huber? One of the first scientists that introduced, refined and applied the method of dendrochronology and crossdating in Central Europe, the scholar who prepared and used thin sections to understand tree water transport over 90 years ago, the ‘forward-thinker’ who derived sapwood to leaf-area ratios in the 1920s today known as “Huber values”? Well, welcome to Greifswald! You are visiting the town and university, where Huber worked and taught early on in his career as a botanist, forester, plant physiologist, plant anatomist, and one of Europe’s first dendrochronologists. At this conference, we have compiled diverse scientific conference sessions around the topics Bruno Huber explored successfully in his career. We are building on the foundations people like him carefully constructed. TRACE 2018 brings together students, senior scientists, scholars, and practitioners on topics spanning archaeology, plant and forest ecology, physiology, extreme events, climatology, wood anatomy and methodological advances of tree-ring science. -
