Do tree rings get smaller or bigger due to drought?
If the rings of a tree are far apart, then the tree received plenty of water and nutrients that year, and the temperature was suitable for the tree to thrive, because the cambium layer of the tree was able to produce more cells, making more wood in between rings. If two rings are very close together, then the tree either did not have enough water, the temperature was too cold or too hot, or both, because the cambium layer did not produce as many cells, meaning less wood in between rings.
What do rings in tree trunks mean?

How can you identify the age of a tree once its cut down?
When a tree is cut down, if you cut the tree horizontally, than you will be able to see the growth rings. Every growth ring relates to one year of life for the tree. From the growth rings, you can also determine what kind of weather and conditions the tree had undergone. When the growth rings are very thin, than there were times of little to no rain (drought). When the rings are thick, then there was a good rain-season and the tree was able to grow a lot. Not only that, but when the rings are not round, but rather crooked, than that means that the tree suffered some kind of damage. It could be poisoning, it could've been hit with something, or maybe the tree was poisoned. There's a lot you can tell about a trees life from looking at the growth rings!
What do the rings in tree trunks tell you?
