Dendrography is a branch of the natural sciences, specifically botany, this term derives from the Greek words "Dendron" which means tree and "Logos" which means study, this science is in charge of studying everything related to those woody plants, shrubs and trees that have a relative economic importance, for which it focuses on performing analysis from a systematic and geographical perspective, in addition to taking into account also their physiological and anatomical characteristics, in order to determine the growth of their branches and trunk, and consequently the ability to produce wood, is also in charge of studying the natural characteristics regarding its growth.
It can then be said that dendrography is specifically responsible for carrying out specific studies, such as the growth of the trunk of the plants, the characteristics of the wood, the morphology of the plants, when carrying out this type of study it makes the process easier identification of the species to later form groups with similar characteristics. Thanks to this science, important data can be obtained from trees, which is of great importance in different areas such as forestry for example.
Specifically in the area of forest sciences, its importance is given because it allows selecting the species in their different stages of development that are required within a group of plants, for which specific data are taken in order to obtain a correct forest management. On the other hand, the phenological study of trees is of great relevance because thanks to these studies, it is possible to have an adequate choice of the species regarding the time that best suits these species, in order to carry out the different activities related to the exploitation of forests.
Another of its important aspects is the assignment of the correct terminologies for the different species, in these terminologies the aspects related to the leaves, the shape of the trees, their leaves, the branches, among others, are highlighted. Correct species identification provides easy access to the information that already exists regarding a species.
