We analysed sapwood characteristics in 344 pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) samples from the south-western part of the Pannonian Basin. The samples came from 13 sites, located in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia. The trees had an average of 13.3 sapwood rings, with a minimum of 5 and maximum of 32. Fifteen log-log linear regression models were employed to assess the statistical relationship between sapwood and heartwood variables. The number of sapwood rings (NSW), which is usually needed in dendroarchaeological dating, is significantly related to the number of heartwood rings (NHW), heartwood width (WHW) and heartwood growth rate (GHW). Older and more slowly growing trees had a higher average number of sapwood rings. Using NHW and WHW, we employed an additional multiple regression model and calculated coefficients for NSW predictions for real-world dendroarchaeological dating from the south-western part of the Pannonian Basin.
