Thank you! I'm happy to hear you liked it! And yes, I agree, "dendrochronology" is a fantastic word! I had to say it many times before I was comfortable saying it on camera. 😄
One interesting use of Dendrochronology I found was its role in studying past forest insect outbreaks, it also provides an understanding of the dynamics of the insect population, including the length of outbreaks, the time between outbreaks, and spread all through the analysis of tree-ring data.
Dendrochronology can also be used to investigate climate trends and patterns from the past. These trends can then be used to help us validate climate models.
I am also watching as an environmental study student. We use it as going back to check the climate and environmental conditions in the past. Interestingly it is very precise method for dating too, besides climatic condition studies of the past. Thinner and darker layers are resonating dryer seasons, while wider layers are related to warm and wetter seasons.
I found out the dendrochronology can similarly be used in dating of wooden buildings or structures. In dendroarchaeology, archaeologists can determine when the wood was cut down and used for construction purposes, allowing us to estimate how old a structure might have been. However, it can be inaccurate because the wood may have been reused, or cut down and used only after many years. Nevertheless, this is an interesting application of dendrochronology!
I don't know of a software, but you can use the International Tree-Ring Data Bank from NOAA (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/paleoclimatology/tree-ring), and it's a huge data bank that you can search for tree ring patterns to use for comparison.
Hi! Is there any posibility that trees grow more than 1 ring per year? I mean, are there any conditions that affect trees for growing several rings per year or at least 2 rings per year? Thanks!
Yes. Someone who makes walking sticks for a living grew his own trees to cut. He grew them for 7 years and every time it showed they were 11 years old based on dendrochronology. It is inaccurate. There are also factors such as trees in higher ground and lower ground will have different amounts of tree rings based on the rain downfall. The oldest tree is really only 3,700 years old without cross referencing. It points to there being a world wide flood about 4,000 years ago.
@@rachaeljoyinthelord Thank you very much for your answer! I imagined an answer like that, because I believe a world wide flood happened around 4400 years ago, but Methuselah, the oldest tree, is being said to have around 4800 years old. One more question: Why don't the scholars take into account the others factors that inflate the longevity of this tree? I've subscribed to your channel 🙂
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed learning about dendrochronology!
Also, “dendrochronology” is just a fantastic word.
Love this.

It is coming from the Greek root, Denron: tree, and Chronology, the study of time.
Thank you it was really interesting
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found it interesting.

A very interesting application, it helps us learn more about how the forests were affected by the insect outbreaks.
Learned a lot very helpful thanks a lot great video.
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you found it helpful!
Wonderfully explain 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
Great video!
Thank you!

Yes, this is a very important application of dendrochronology!

It's a simple, yet very useful tool with lots of applications.
GREAT VIDEO 🎉
Thank you! 🙂
Good information
Thanks for watching! 🙂

Yes, it's definitely an interesting application of dendrochronology!
Dendrochronology can be used for geology studies to find out things about events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
Very useful applications in learning more about our planet's history!
Hey Maria, thanks for your video! What I want to know is does it have some software and open free database for the public to test dendrochronology?
I don't know of a software, but you can use the International Tree-Ring Data Bank from NOAA (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/paleoclimatology/tree-ring), and it's a huge data bank that you can search for tree ring patterns to use for comparison.
