some 2,600 bog oaks have been dated from German, Dutch and Irish bogs covering the period 6000 bc to ad 1000. The ring patterns of these `bog oaks' are characterized by recurrent, long-term growth depressions. In addition, obvious changes in the temporal distribution of the bog-oak trunks throughout the Holocene are found. Both features were probably caused by unfavourable growth conditions, which are most likely linked to changes in site hydrology. The authors use a new variable, `annual mean age', as a tool to analyse the population dynamics of bog oaks in more detail, enabling the detection of synchronous intersite and interregional changes. It is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the age of all trees in each calendar year. The authors performed the calculation on regional (Germany, The Netherlands, Ireland) subsets of the bog-oak series. Abrupt changes in annual mean age are taken to indicate periods of generation change. Good agreement was found for the interval from 5000 bc to 2000 bc between the continental (combined German and Dutch) and the Irish mean-age chronologies. Most changes in population dynamics correspond with contemporary changes in the associated regional tree-ring chronologies. It is concluded that the observed changes in population dynamics and growth activity are responses to common environmental forcing, most likely related to climate
