The Science of Tree Rings
How a Tree Grows
Foresters use tree ring counts on large tracks of forests to determine the age of a stand of trees, how fast they are growing and to caluculate site index. If the tree's health is in doubt, a forester or arborist can use tree rings to tell if their is internal damage. The cores, if done correctly, can even be used for chemical studies in commercial labs to determine suitability of the trees for different purposes.

Tree Rings and Culture
Tree rings and tree ring dating, called dendrochronology, is a fascinating science that uses the growth rings of long-lived trees as a record of climatic change in a region.
