Dieter Eckstein's bibliography and legacy of connection to wood biology and tree-ring science

Here we present a systematic bibliography of more than 280 publications (co)authored by Prof. Dr. Dieter Eckstein (1939 - 2021) who significantly influenced the global development of dendrochronology and the underlying science of wood biology. The bibliography illustrates the development of tree-ring research in Europe and elsewhere throughout the almost 50 years of Eckstein’s career. Throughout his scientific career, Eckstein pioneered, developed, and promoted research opportunities with his students and co-workers at the University of Hamburg and beyond. His personal and collaborative work continues to improve our understanding of both the natural environment and human cultural development. The techniques he developed and championed resolved long-standing difficulties in the application of tree-ring science to understand both natural processes and human effects on tree and forest development. Eckstein’s research areas included dendroclimatology, xylogenesis, ecophysiology, and quantitative wood anatomy. The compiled bibliography is available in *docx, *pdf and *ris format. The lists of dissertations, master's and diploma theses and Eurodendro conferences supervised and supported by Dieter Eckstein are also available in *docx format.
