Between 1645 and 1715 Western Europe experienced whats known as the Maunder Minimum, a period of unusually cold weather due to the suns reduced activity during the time. Temperatures may have dropped by two degrees Celsius, which was enough to make trees grow more slowly. Slower tree growth produces stronger, denser wood.
在1645年至1715年期间,西欧历经了一个名为蒙德极小期的时期。在这期间,因为太阳活动减弱,天气异常的冷。气温降了2℃,这足以让树木生长的更加缓慢,产出更坚硬,密度更大的木头。
