A Tree-Ring Reconstruction of the Salinity Gradient in the Northern Estuary of San Francisco Bay

A Tree-Ring Reconstruction of the Salinity Gradient in the Northern Estuary of San Francisco Bay

<p>Blue oak tree-ring chronologies correlate highly with winter–spring precipitation totals over California, with Sacramento and San Joaquin river stream flow, and with seasonal variations in the salinity gradient in San Francisco Bay. The convergence of fresh and saline currents can influence...
