Best Answer

Climate conditions can be determined from living trees that are hundreds to more than a thousand years old. Trees that depend heavily on moisture will have more rings during a wet season and less during a dry season. Trees that depend heavily on heat will have wider rings during a warmer season and narrower ringer during a cooler season.

A dendrochronologist interprets what?

The study of climate changes and past events by comparing the successive annual growth rings of trees or old timber.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section indicated below.dendrochronology (dndr-kr-nl-j) The study of growth rings in trees for the purpose of analyzing past climate conditions or determining the dates of past events. Because trees grow more slowly in periods of drought or other environmental stress than they do under more favorable conditions, the size of the rings they produce varies. Analyzing the pattern of a tree's rings provides information about the environmental changes that took place during the period in which it was growing. Matching the pattern in trees whose age is known to the pattern in wood found at an archaeological site can establish the age at which the wood was cut and thus the approximate date of the site. By comparing living trees with old lumber and finding overlapping ring patterns, scientists have established chronological records for some species that go back as far as 9,000 years.

What do tree rings have to do with global warming?

Trees tend to grow faster during warmer and wetter years, and this is reflected in the tree rings. Scientists can look back through the centuries using tree rings, and identify which years were warmer. If there is a warming or cooling phase, the rate of change and its duration can be identified readily from adjacent tree rings. With the help of this process, they have been able to show that the current global warming phase represents the fastest increase in average temperatures for several thousand years.
