As noted above, it is very difficult to estimate tree age simply from size. So much depends on the tree’s microenvironment (access to light, water, space and nutrients), its unique species-dependent growth habits, and the events that alter the tree’s environment or health over the course of its life. The frequency and intensity of disturbances such as fire, insect attacks, or windstorms profoundly influence tree growth over time.

These rings form in response to environmental conditions, storing information on climate and historic occurrence of fires in an area. Essentially, you bore a hole into a living tree and extract a thin section column of the wood. This becomes your reference specimen, as you date each annual ring, tracing back from the present date.
