Trees in temperate and cold regions grow in annual cycles, producing a distinct ring each year. These rings consist of two layers:

: A light-colored, thicker layer formed in spring and early summer when growth is most rapid.

: In high-latitude or high-elevation areas (treelines), cold temperatures limit growth. Thinner rings in these areas typically indicate cooler growing seasons, while wider rings signify warmer ones.
