Trees are data recorders and with knowledge that data can be teased out and made into useful information.

Because the climate information is encoded in the tree ring widths and can be decoded and used by scientists later.

That's a code dumbfuck.  A simple physical mapping but a code nonetheless.  It's why scientists use the terms encode and decode when discussing dendrochronology as climate proxies.  Your amazing ignorance of all things scientific doesn't change scientific facts one iota.

Dumbass.

Data is recorded by the tree. Climate data is recorded by the tree. Then scientists come along, collect that data and give it meaning.

The definitions of encode don't help you:  

https://www.merriam-webster.com/diction....e

Wikipedia don't list tree rings as a code



No one says that tree rings are a code. That was your claim.

They decode the process which was encoded by tree ring growth patterns.

I already posted it for you twice dumbfuck.  It's the tree ring widths which encode information about the climate at the time they grew.  More favorable conditions (warmer, wetter) = wider rings.  Poorer conditions (colder, drought) = narrower rings.

Your ignorance and stupidity is legendary across the internet Joke.  There's no topic so esoteric you won't make a fool out of yourself over it.  Stick with your YEC baraminology.

Clearly you don't have any clue as to what a code is. What is the code used to encode? And why are you conflating data with information?

Look, moron, trees record the data. We come along and after years of study come to some understanding of how to gather that data and give it meaning.

Why doesn't anyone else call tree rings a code?

Tree ring widths are part of the data. You can't scan them and get some reading like we do actual barcodes.

Quote-mining loser

Tree rings are not a code. Trees are data recorders

Ice and water are different. Ice is a solid and water is a liquid. Ice needs a minimum of 275 H2O molecules to begin to crystalize. You can have water below that.

genetics support limited common descent which is consistent with the concept of baraminology

In order to know how old the earth is you have to know how it was formed. Only using untestable assumptions can anyone say the earth is 4.5x billion years old (+/- 1 billion)


Not that timmy the desperate coward will ever faithfully represent what I actually say.

WinDendro Image Analysis for Plant Science

The first step of tree-ring analysis is image acquisition. WinDENDRO has been designed and is optimised for optical scanners but can also analyse images from cameras and digital filmless x-ray systems. It can open image files produced by these hardware manufacturers programs (provided they are saved in a standard format such as jpeg or tiff), but most of the time WinDENDRO is used to acquire images directly from such devices (when they are TWAIN compatible*). Optical scanners are particularly well adapted for tree-rings analysis. They produce high quality images over large areas.

WinDENDRO deals with scanners in a very efficient way. It has two methods of image acquisition for them, one is optimised for ease of use and requires just a mouse click to get an image. Time is saved in bypassing the standard "Preview" step (which can take tens of seconds per sample) and by using positioning accessories which allows to repetitively place the samples at the right place on the scanner. The other scanning method is more complex and powerful, it uses the Preview step to optimise the scanning parameters.

After image acquisition, you indicate WinDENDRO where to measure rings in the image. This is done by tracing paths interactively. Straight line paths (such as those extending from a disk pith to bark) can be created automatically with a single mouse click (up to a few hundreds in a single click). More complex shape paths (see below) are created manually by clicking at different places

After paths have been created, rings are automatically detected by WinDENDRO and their presence is indicated over the image with lines and text. Lines indicate the rings boundary position and orientation and the text indicates the year and ring number. Earlywood width can also be displayed along with other ring features (explained next). Close to the image, a profile of the light variations inside the path is also displayed along with ring and earlywood widths. This region is also used to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic ring detection. The sensitivity of this initial detection can be adjusted in function of the rings appearance. Narrow and low contrasts rings require more attention.

One or two methods of ring detection are provided in function of the WinDENDRO software model. The first method is based on light intensity differences. It is simple, efficient and works fine for contrasted rings like those of conifers. The other ring detection method is called Teach & Show and is a method where you show to WinDENDRO what a tree ring is in the image so that it can automatically detect them after. This method is more computer intensive and is well adapted for low contrasted rings like those of deciduous trees. There are limits however and minimal contrast is required in order to get a good level of automatic detection. When contrast is too low, you can work in manual mode where you indicate the position of rings in the image by clicking them.


Joke the dumbass strikes again!

Data

According to a common view, data is collected and analyzed; data only becomes information suitable for making decisions once it has been analyzed in some fashion.

Tree ring widths are part of the data. You can't scan them and get some reading like we do actual barcodes.

Yes dumbfuck, we can scan them like we do barcodes

WinDendro Image Analysis for Plant Science

The first step of tree-ring analysis is image acquisition. WinDENDRO has been designed and is optimised for optical scanners but can also analyse images from cameras and digital filmless x-ray systems. It can open image files produced by these hardware manufacturers programs (provided they are saved in a standard format such as jpeg or tiff), but most of the time WinDENDRO is used to acquire images directly from such devices (when they are TWAIN compatible*). Optical scanners are particularly well adapted for tree-rings analysis. They produce high quality images over large areas.

WinDENDRO deals with scanners in a very efficient way. It has two methods of image acquisition for them, one is optimised for ease of use and requires just a mouse click to get an image. Time is saved in bypassing the standard "Preview" step (which can take tens of seconds per sample) and by using positioning accessories which allows to repetitively place the samples at the right place on the scanner. The other scanning method is more complex and powerful, it uses the Preview step to optimise the scanning parameters.

After image acquisition, you indicate WinDENDRO where to measure rings in the image. This is done by tracing paths interactively. Straight line paths (such as those extending from a disk pith to bark) can be created automatically with a single mouse click (up to a few hundreds in a single click). More complex shape paths (see below) are created manually by clicking at different places

After paths have been created, rings are automatically detected by WinDENDRO and their presence is indicated over the image with lines and text. Lines indicate the rings boundary position and orientation and the text indicates the year and ring number. Earlywood width can also be displayed along with other ring features (explained next). Close to the image, a profile of the light variations inside the path is also displayed along with ring and earlywood widths. This region is also used to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic ring detection. The sensitivity of this initial detection can be adjusted in function of the rings appearance. Narrow and low contrasts rings require more attention.

One or two methods of ring detection are provided in function of the WinDENDRO software model. The first method is based on light intensity differences. It is simple, efficient and works fine for contrasted rings like those of conifers. The other ring detection method is called Teach & Show and is a method where you show to WinDENDRO what a tree ring is in the image so that it can automatically detect them after. This method is more computer intensive and is well adapted for low contrasted rings like those of deciduous trees. There are limits however and minimal contrast is required in order to get a good level of automatic detection. When contrast is too low, you can work in manual mode where you indicate the position of rings in the image by clicking them.


Joke the dumbass strikes again!  

:D

No, that is not like a barcode reading.

Oh dear, Joke shits his pants every time he's proven wrong.  The smell in his basement must be horrific.

It can't even tell you what type of tree it is. It scans the rings and analyzes them. That is not what a barcode reader does

Tree ring variables are reviewed, illustrating their particular relevance with some examples.

Again, scientists are not decoding anything. They are analyzing the data. Huge difference.

Do people analyze Morse code or the genetic code? No, they actually decode those
