1. dendrochronology
   The dating of past events and variations in the environment and the climate by studying the annual growth rings of trees. The approximate age of a temperate forest tree can be determined by counting the annual growth rings in the lower part of the trunk. The width of these annual rings is indicative...

4. Dendrochronology
   the science of dating timber by analysing tree ring widths can be used on any timber construction from building to furniture - a sort of fingerprinting process for trees. It is a process that is dependant on reference data, but long accurate sequences (chronologies) of growth patterns, have ...

7. Dendrochronology
   Dendrochronology or tree-ring dating is the scientific method of dating based on the analysis of patterns of tree-rings. Dendrochronology can date the time at which tree rings were formed, in many types of wood, to the exact calendar year. This has three main areas of application: paleoecology, whe...

8. Dendrochronology
   The scientific study of the annular growth of trees. Trees produce rings of various thickness annually in response to rainfall. Tree-rings therefore, can be used to reconstruct fluctuations in rainfall in the past, reflecting past climatic conditions.

10. dendrochronology
    Analysis of the annual rings of trees to date past events by determining the age of timber. Since annual rings are formed by variations in the water-conducting cells produced by the plant during different seasons of the year, they also provide a means of establishing past climatic conditions in a given area. Samples of wood are obtained by driv...
