Hi,

trees in temperate areas has circles inside the truns.
If the trees cut down, You can count the circles and so You know how old they are.
But in areas the have no different seasons like winter, summer and spring the trees has not circles.
How is possible to find out how old are the trees ?

Best regards
Dieter

Hi Dieter ,

Your question motivated me to look for an answer. You might find this interesting:

Unfortunately I can only access the abstract.

I can access the entire article. Basically, you still have seasons in the tropics, the dry and the wet. Many trees have growth periods and rings during the wet.

Hi,

thank You very much.
In think radio carbon method like the archaeologs.
Otherwise it is very difficult to find out which tree it is, because small areas have more different trees than whole Europe.

Dieter, send me a private message, and mention your e-mail. I will reply with an e-mail to which i will attach a .pdf file with that paper. Yes, carbon dating is used on any organic material.
