seed by tree ring data

[lizzieinvancouver]

... from chatting with @AileneKane today we realized, Janneke has seed data for MORA and tree rings. Okay too much for our paper, but wanted to park this idea/thought somewhere.

Yes! I have seeds... But the overlap between seeds and rings is small, because we collected the tree ring data around the time that I first set up the seed traps. Someone could go back to Mt. Rainier and core more trees? It would be (at this point) a 15 years time series...

Plans are on to do this! So I am closing this thought here.
