Cross section of a tree trunk displaying concentric growth rings in a light brown tone. The rings, formed by varying growth periods, provide information about the tree's age and growth conditions. Visible cracks radiate outward from the center, a natural result of aging and environmental factors. The texture is rough, with distinct lines indicating the annual rings. The color varies slightly between rings, enhancing the visual texture. This cross section serves as an illustrative example of dendrochronology, the scientific study of tree ring dating.
