If you were analyzing tree rings how might you distinguish between fires that occurred in the spring

versus fires that occurred in the summer, assuming the fires left fire scars?



What will be an ideal response?


A spring fire would damage “spring wood” and a summer would damage “summer wood”. These
portions of an annual tree ring are distinguished by either being a light band, spring wood, or a dark
band, summer wood.
