On June 27/28, 2022, the 10th anniversary event of TreeNet will take place in the Basel region in Switzerland in form of a conference. The conference will focus on the assessment of tree growth with different experimental methods and networks. TreeNet works with Natkon dendrometers…
Natkon dendrometers stand at the beginning of the publication ‘Why trees grow at night’ in the scientific journal New Phytologist. Have a look at the scientific story or the related media products. It is a common misconception that trees grow in the daytime, when photosynthesis…
The following pictures give an overview of the tools that are helpful to install a Natkon dendrometer. T-shaped dendrometer: 1: frame, 2: potentiometer, 3: rods with screws and washers (4 mm drill bit), 4: cordless screwdriver, 5: hammer, 6: screwdriver, 7: spanner #7, 8: flat…
Natkon is able to produce and deliver dendrometers as usual despite the Corona lockdown in Switzerland and elsewhere. Contact us for quotes and delivery times. Take care!
All Natkon dendrometers are now capable of carrying two sensor heads even when ordered with one sensor only. The new frame design gives you the option to upgrade any type of dendrometer (O-shaped and T-shaped frames) to a dual-dendrometer. Dual-dendrometers get increasingly asked since they…
Our Natkon dendrometers enable to detect drought stress of trees. Currently Switzerland and other European countries are facing a heat and drought period. The network TreeNet detects with point dendrometers how much tree stems shrink during dry periods. This so-called tree water deficit (TWD) indicates…
Natkon dendrometers are involved in many scientific projects worldwide leading to numerous scientific publication about growth and tree water relations (see list of publications related to Natkon products). Currently the public interest into outcomes of projects combining aspects of science and art is huge. The…
