This is TCO. I added a bunch of new content to make the page more content-rich and also to make it less focussed on temperature. I removed the divergence section as it (while interesting) is not central to a basic encyclopedia description of the field.
It still needs some work in formatting. I'm new to wiki and haven't figured out how to quickly and easily use the controls.
This is a big upgrade. Feel free to make it better. If someone comes in and reverts it, I will scream. 71.246.149.92 19:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I am so wiki-clueless (TCO). I want to go back and edit my submission. Maybe para by para. But it won't seem to let me. Is there some rule that there needs to be an intermediate editor or a time delay? 71.246.149.92 19:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
TCO again. I figured out. Need to hit the button at the top "edit this page". 71.246.149.92 19:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm done messing with it for now. Main need is to add specific citations to the science literature.
I have tried to use a neutral tone to describe the field. I am broadly speaking a climate science skeptic, but not a denier. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.246.149.92 ( talk) 21:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

There is something very wrong about this wiki entry when the article is mostly about the subject's limitations and not the actual subject itself. It is obvious that by focussing on its limitations, this scientific field is being discredited by author(s) who do not like the contribution it plays in climate science and perhaps something else 124.168.232.150 ( talk) 12:59, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
It is not clear why the divergence problem is significant. Am I correct to assume that divergence implies a decreased correlation between the tree ring indicators and the actual temperature? If that is true, then divergence creates uncertainty in temperature predictions using tree rings, and this should be state clearly. It would also help to link to relevant statistic pages. I'll take it on myself to update the page if no one else does, but I really hate releasing my awful grammar on the world. Jfischoff ( talk) 13:28, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Seems like in long periods of higher or rising temperatures there would be more trees in a given forest, competing for nutrients/sunshine and other resources. The number of trees is obviously not reflected in the tree rings of individual trees, and yet could offset what would be expected if the same number of trees were growing from period to period. 186.188.177.231 ( talk) 22:52, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

" The median values for height, stem diameter and all biomass measurements at elevated growth temperatures were always near 1 for evergreens, indicating that for every study that found increased growth with warming, there were a similar number that found a decrease (Figure 2A, B and F)."
That is to say that in some studies warmer trees would have narrower tree rings, in some studies. I do not know the implications of this for dendroclimatology, but it certainly looks problematical. Greglocock ( talk) 04:06, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

This article explains the use of tree rings as a climate proxy fairly well. It does not go too far in depth about how exactly the data from trees is analyzed, but it does give basic information that tree ring width is best related to climate parameters, but isotope and chemical trace analysis can also give useful climate information. The article does not explicitly discuss the assumptions made during processes of dendroclimatology, but rather cites certain expected behaviors, such as trees in certain areas are expected to respond more strongly to particular factors. I think the article could do a better job of explicitly citing the assumption that are made to do this type of data analysis. It does, however, do a good job at pointing out the strengths and weakness of using this kind of proxy method, but probably focuses on the limitations involved too much, without giving more information on the strengths. Two peer-reviewed articles I found in my own research are “Tree-rings, a key ecological indicator of environment and climate change” by Zhihua Zhang, and “Dendroclimatology: extracting climate from trees” by Paul R. Sheppard. Both articles have relevant and recent information, but are not in the Wikipedia article. Overall, to improve this article, I think the page could benefit from more recent sources of information, as most of the current sources are ten years or older. Also, I think the page could use more sources of information in general to have a more thorough and complete information base. Cjadamaitis ( talk) 23:36, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
