Tree-ring research

Tree-ring research, also known as dendrochronology, involves studying the growth rings of trees to gather information about past climates, events, and environmental conditions. Each ring represents a year of growth, with its width indicating factors like rainfall and temperature. By analyzing these patterns, scientists can reconstruct historical climate changes, study ecological impacts, and even date wooden artifacts. This research provides valuable insights into our planet's history and helps us understand how ecosystems respond to climate variations over time.
