The Structure of Wood and Ring Anomalies

The video tutorial explores dendrochronology, focusing on the study of tree rings in gymnosperms and angiosperms. It explains the formation of tree rings, the structure of wood, and the significance of early and late wood. The tutorial also covers the arrangement of pores in angiosperms and the concept of reaction wood. Various ring anomalies, such as absent rings and false rings, are discussed, highlighting the complexities in studying tree rings.
