Aren't you ignoring temperate tree growth, early wood and late wood, in causally saying "these rings all represent one year"? Surely it's different seasonal patterns, variations in annual climate, drought etc... you've made quite a sweeping statement with very little evidence or awareness of the big picture there.
Your comment that the tree grew more in its younger years because of clear cutting and less competition is wrong, obsolete thinking, and hurtful both to the forest and the timber industry.
@@mimimarriott1379 Natural phenomena are rarely if ever due to a single "cause." Several factors are involved. "Competition" effects, if any, tend to be gradual over time; weather patterns and soil/geological conditions tend to frustrate real science, while know-it-alls tend to be more sure of themselves.

I love your videos. I have watched almost every single one. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Thanks.
When I was a cruiser. I did have flagging tied to the extractor. I would just toss a stabbing toss, the extractor, into the ground.
Thank you!
Thank you for helping us in telling
Very helpful

Why do you think it grew more when it was young then?
