Acknowledgements

As the compilers of the Multilingual Glossary of Dendrochronology, Fritz Hans Schweingruber and I are greatly indebted to Emilia Gutierrez, Paolo Cherubini, Mario Tomazello and Vera Benkova, respectively the Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian speaking co-ordinators, for their patience and goodwill in coping with linguistic and practical problems. We are grateful to the many scientists whose opinions and advice we sought when defining or reviewing the English, German and French versions.
For the online version of the Glossary, I am grateful to Jacqueline Annen (Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL) for scanning the 125 figures of the printed version, and to Fritz Hans Schweingruber for providing 25 additional, original photographs.
