Dendrochronology (Anthromorphemics)

The study of tree-ring patterns; annual variations in climatic conditions which produce differential growth can be used both as a measure of environmental change, and as the basis for a chronology.

Dendrochronology (Anthropology)

The study of tree-ring patterns; annual variations in climatic conditions which produce differential growth can be used both as a measure of environmental change, and as the basis for a chronology.

Dendrochronology (Climate)

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 of the climatic conditions during the period of growth; wide annual rings signify favorable growing conditions, absence of diseases and pests, and favorable climatic conditions, while narrow rings indicate unfavorable growing conditions or climate.

Dendrochronology (Historical Study)

The dating of past events through comparison of successive annual growth rings of trees or old timber. Botanists, foresters and archeologists began using this technique during the early part of the 20th century. (Also called: timber dating, tree-ring dating).

Dendrochronology (Science)

Dating via tree rings.
