Tree Rings Engrave Climate Data

A tree ring is a circular line of wood that a tree forms each year as it grows. Trees produce many thin-walled cells in the cambium during the spring and summer, when they are exposed to a lot of sunlight. Conversely, trees produce thick-walled cells during the winter when there is less sun exposure, and therefore, slower growth. Cell growth speed is also subject to rainfall and climate change, and so varies according to each year’s weather patterns.

This knowledge of tree ring growth was utilized in dendrochronology, which focuses on how sunspot activity affects weather patterns.

Past climate variations can be explained scientifically by analyzing patterns of tree rings, which vary according to climatic and environmental conditions. Tree rings’ illustration of climate variation patterns can be used to predict future climate changes, as well as the chances of drought and flood.
