(Greek: trees, tree-like structures)
The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life activity; it provides protection to all beings, offering shade even to the axeman who destroys it.
The dating of events or time intervals in past periods based on the variation in patterns of growth rings of trees and old wood: The science of dendroarcheology involves the calculation of the ages of wooden things in archaeological sites.
That part of the earth's surface covered by trees.
dendrochronological (adjective) (not comparable)
In biology and archaeology, pertaining to the science that uses the placement of the annual growth rings in (ancient) trees to date the correct year of formation: The dendrochronological research by the students was used to date past occurrences in the envirmonemt by comparing the growth rings in old timber.
A specialist in dating by examining tree rings: Mrs. Snow, Jim's mother, was a dendrochronologist who spent most of her time examining the spacings between the annual growth rings of certain trees to date the precise years of development.
The science of tree-ring analysis and its implications: The research of dendrochronology employs a method of dating using annual tree-rings, also termed tree-ring chronology.
In archaeology, dendrochronology utilizes a system of dating wooden objects by analyzing the pattern of their annual rings and comparing this pattern to an established tree-ring sequence for the region.
dendroclastic
Breaking or destroying trees; a destroyer of trees.
dendroclimatology
1. The determination of past climatic conditions from the study of the annual growth rings of trees.
2. The study of past climates by the examination of the annual growth rings in (ancient) timber.
2. The study of past climates by the examination of the annual growth rings in (ancient) timber.
dendrocolaptine
Belonging or allied to the genus of birds Dendrocolaptes, or South American tree-creepers.
dendrocole (verb), dendrocoles; dendrocoled; dendrocoling: trees
Living in or growing on trees.
Dendrocygna
Dendrocygninae is a subfamily of the duck, goose and swan family of birds, Anatidae.
It contains only one genus, Dendrocygna, which consists of eight species. These species are the whistling ducks and they have a worldwide distribution through the tropics and subtropics. These ducks have distinctive whistling calls.
dendrodendritic
Pertaining to a synaptic relationship in which the telodendria of one neuron end on dendrites of a second neuron.
A biogeographical region including all of the neotropical regions except temperate South America: Mr. Smart explained to his class that the areas of the world called the Dendrogaea consisted of Central Amical and the Caribbean.
dendrogram
1. A treelike figure used to graphically represent a hierarchy.
2. A branched diagram representing the apparent similarity or relationship between taxa; especially, on the basis of their observed overall similarity rather than on their phylogeny.

dendrograph
1. A tree-like figure used to graphically represent a hierarchy.
2. In biology, a branching diagram used to show relationships between members of a group.
3. A family tree with the oldest common ancestor at the base, and branches for various divisions of lineage.
4. An instrument used to measure the periodical variations in the size of tree trunks.

dendrohydrology
In hydrology, the study of tree-ring configuration to determine hydrologic occurrences; variations in the width reveal variations in precipitation or water flow.
