Main publication details
MARC recordUse of Silene acaulis for dating the relationship of cushion diameter to age / James B. Benedict.
| Title: | Use of Silene acaulis for dating the relationship of cushion diameter to age / James B. Benedict. |
| Author(s): | Benedict, James B. |
| Date: | 1989. |
| In: | Arctic and Alpine Research. (1989.), Vol. 21(1) (1989) |
| Abstract: | Measurements made on 27 plants on moraines of Arapaho Glacier, Front Range, CO, USA. Growth begins slowly, accelerates to 2 to 3 cm a⁻¹, and then decreases slowly. Lifespan of 100 a or less makes this moss unsuitable for dating Little Ice Age moraines, but it can provide minimum age estimates for landforms and erosional features younger than 75 to 100 a. |
| Notes: | Arctic and Alpine Research. Vol. 21(1) :91-96 (1989). |
| Keywords: | 550.93 -- Geochronology. 551.321 -- Glaciological methods and instruments. E3 -- Glaciology: instruments and methods. |
