Abstract

Through this practice, high school students can measure the height, perimeter and recognize the age of a tree. Dendroecology is the study of tree rings. Using a technique called dendrochronology, it is possible to create chronologies based on the study of tree growth rings, which are a reflection of environmental conditions and ecosystem variations.
