Dendrochronology (or tree-ring dating) is the scientific method of dating tree rings (also called growth rings) to the exact year they were formed.

We can answer questions like:
How old a tree is, when a tree was damaged;
When it likely became decayed;
Determine if an area of land has been eroded, if it was populated with trees or higher plants(shrubs);
When and if the tree began to lean;
When it was first decayed;
If there were flood events, and how often;
Other questions arise when there is no other evidence of what has occurred in an area.
