== History / Human Heritage collections == Dendrochronology is located on the border between biology and history. An annual ring table or tree-ring calendar is a time series of tree ring s of dendrochronological art tree. Because of the specific growth of each tree species and regional differences of climate, such a table must always refer to a single species from the same region. Important tree chronologies are:
Hohenheimer Jahrringkalender (Hohenheim tree-ring calendar), complete 12,483 years back to 10,480 BC in the Younger Dryas Aegean Dendrochronology Project to 1800 BC, Bronze Age Belfast Chronology 5474 BC English standard curve to 5,012 BC Bristlecone Pine Chronology extends back 8500 years exists for the bristlecone pine in the Southwest US (White Mountains of California) Sequoiadendron giganteum Chronology Remerkable History collections:
