The observatory of tree growth

The Observatory of Tree Growth is a short video describing the research conducted along a 1400 m long elevation gradient in the Swiss Lötschental to investigate tree growth. For 15 years now, we've been collecting week by week tiny wooden samples from tree stems, to unveil the secrets of how climate affects their growth. This video has breathtaking images providing the context and the approach of the research.
