# Abstract: Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) is one of the widely used and dendrochronologically investigated species in Europe. Still, it is a problematical dating object if its outermost section is missing partly or totally. Thus, we need sapwood estimation of living trees. As sapwood amount varies geographically, numbers of sapwood rings have been published for different regions in Europe but no such estimation has been done for the Baltic States yet. Therefore, this paper deals with the estimation of pedunculate oak sapwood growing in the eastern Baltic region, i.e. in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
#  
#  In total, 668 oak core samples of living trees from 43 stands were investigated. Ring widths were measured and the number of sapwood rings was determined according to two criteria: difference of colour and absence of tyloses in earlywood vessels. The samples were divided into two sets, according to the tH-values between site chronologies and the major geobotanical sub-provinces. Thus, the nine Finnish and western Estonian sites were attributed to the western region and the 34 eastern Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian sites to the eastern region.
#  
#  As the result of a statistical analysis, we explain that the number of oak sapwood rings ranges from 4.09 to 20.85 and 6.45 to 18.02 within 95% confidence limits in the western and eastern regions, respectively. For the three Baltic countries and southern Finland in general, we recommend to consider a sapwood estimate of 6.18-18.71 rings. Regarding earlier studies, the general European trend of decreasing sapwood ring number towards the east was confirmed. A geographical pattern of eastward decrease of the median sapwood ring number was noticed in the Baltics as well. The chronology based upon 668 samples of living oak trees from all sites covered the period of 1631-2008.
