Dendrology

Dendrology is the scientific study of trees and woody plants. It encompasses the classification, identification, and understanding of various species of trees, their growth habits, ecological significance, and the roles they play in ecosystems. Dendrologists engage in research related to the anatomy, physiology, and distribution of trees, as well as their interactions with the environment. This field is crucial for conservation efforts, forestry management, and understanding biodiversity. Dendrology combines elements of botany, ecology, and environmental science, and it contributes to fields like landscape architecture, horticulture, and environmental restoration.
