Basal Area Increment (BAI) analysis has shown a general long growth suppression before 1908, the year of Tunguska event (TE), followed by a sudden growth increase due to diminished competition of trees that died due to the event. In one group of the trees, we detected growth decrease for several years (due to damage to the trunk, branches and crown), followed by growth increase during the following 4\u201314 years. We show that trees that germinated after the TE, and living in close proximity of Cheko lake (Cheko lake trees) had different behaviour patterns when compared to those trees living further from Cheko lake, inside the forest (Forest trees). Cheko lake trees have shown a vigorous continuous growth increase. Forest trees have shown a vigorous growth during the first 10\u201330 years of age, followed by a period of suppressed growth. We interpret the suppressed growth by the re-established competition with the surroundings trees. Cheko lake pattern, however, is consistent with the formation of the lake at the time of TE. This observation supports the hypothesis that Cheko lake formation is due to a fragment originating during TE, creating a small impact crater into the permafrost and soft alluvial deposits of Kimku River plain. This is further supported by the fact that Cheko lake has an elliptical shape elongated towards the epicentre of TE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1473550414000445","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,23]],"date-time":"2014-10-23T15:29:27Z","timestamp":1414078167000},"page":"345-357","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Tunguska event and Cheko lake origin: dendrochronological analysis"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Fantucci","family":"Rosanna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serra","family":"Romano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0645-9037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kletetschka","family":"Gunther","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Di Martino","family":"Mario","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1473550414000445_ref34","volume-title":"An Introduction to Tree-ring Dating","author":"Stokes","year":"1986"},{"key":"S1473550414000445_ref16","first-page":"529","article-title":"Information relating to the Tunguska meteorite as of 1939 [in Russian]","volume":"22","author":"Kulik","year":"1939","journal-title":"Doklady Akad.
