The scientists then compare the tree ring characteristics to climate data that has been gathered over the years. Each tree has its own individual history; but by taking core samples from different trees in the same region researchers can get a more accurate picture of the weather conditions that have occurred in that region's past.

The researchers are unsure of what caused this drought, but by studying the tree rings the researchers hope it will help in predicting future droughts. Learn more about dendrochronology and how it can be used to study our earth's past by visiting the links below.
