Preferred term

Dendrochronology  

Definition(s)

  • Dendrochronology is the study of the dating of trees by their annual rings and, subsequently, other objects, both historical and environmental events and processes. Because of some tree species' long life spans and growth responses, a reliable pattern of temperature and precipitation has been recorded in their woody tissue.
