A methodology is outlined to measure histological poplar treering variables like vessel area, being sensitive ecological indicators. Thin section preparation methods and a staining schedule are suggested to enhance contrast and to obtain best intensity colour for subsequent analyses of poplar treering variables, using a computeraided image analysis technique.
