Assessing past and recent climate variability is an important task in environmental change research. Various methods and techniques have been developed in order to generate high-quality proxy data. In Tree-rings, which are perhaps the most important annually resolved proxy that spans the past millennium (Esper et al. 2004), particularly strong climate signals have been achieved by measuring maximum latewood density (MXD) using the widely established X-ray method (Polge 1966, Schweingruber 1988, Parker et al. 1978, D’Arrigo et al. 2000, Cown et al. 2004). Such data have been produced to successfully reconstruct past temperature variations from far northern (Briffa et al. 2001) and high elevation (Buntgen et al. 2006) environments, based on various conifer species. In praxis, the application of this technique is not directly accessible for many researchers due to costly equipment, a laborious sample preparation and time consuming measurement procedures. For this reason, efforts have recently been made to either increase the efficiency of X-ray densitometry (Bergsten et al. 2001) or develop alternative paleoclimate proxies which are as reliable as the X-ray based MXD method, but can be applied more readily and efficiently (Frank 1998, Sheppard et al. 1996, Schinker et al. 2003). McCarroll et al. (2002) assessed the suitability of multiband digital images (RGB) of pine (
