dendrochronology

Chemistry

An absolute dating technique using the growth rings of trees. It depends on the fact that trees in the same locality show a characteristic pattern of growth rings resulting from climatic conditions. Thus it is possible to assign a definite date for each growth ring in living trees, and to use the ring patterns to date fossil trees or specimens of wood (e.g. used for buildings or objects on archaeological sites) with lifespans that overlap those of living trees. The bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata), which lives for up to 5000 years, has been used to date specimens over 8000 years old. Fossil specimens accurately dated by dendrochronology have been used to make corrections to the carbon dating technique. Dendrochronology is also helpful in studying past climatic conditions. Analysis of trace elements in sections of rings can also provide information on past atmospheric pollution.

Geology and Earth Sciences

1. The science of dating by means of tree rings.
2. All aspects of the study of annual growth layers in wood.

Geography

An absolute dating technique using the growth rings of trees. The combined oak and pine tree-ring chronologies of Hohenheim University are the backbone of the Holocene radiocarbon calibration for central Europe; see Friedrich et al. Radiocarbon 46, 3, 1111. Tree rings represent a very valuable natural archive on past debris-flow occurrence as they may record the impact of events in their tree-ring series; see Bollschweiler and Stoffel (2010) PPG 34, 5, Vandekerckhove et al. (2001) Catena 45, and Malik (2008) Geomorph. 93, 3–4. Dendrogeomorphology is the dendrochronological interpretation of geomorphic processes.
