Marker years were characterized as years in which three or more trees at a site exhibited a false ring. The two modern false ring events were cross-referenced with instrumental precipitation data, and the full chronology was overlain with the nearest North American Drought Atlas PDSI reconstruction. The largest contributing factor to widespread false ring formation in this area is likely moisture stress.endendrochronologyfalse ringred pineboundary watersnorthern minnesotaPresentation
