Dendrology

In today's world, Dendrology has gained indisputable relevance. Whether as a protagonist of major changes, as an object of debate or as a historical reference point, Dendrology arouses widespread interest. Its impact extends beyond a specific area, influencing different aspects of daily life. In this article, we will further explore the role of Dendrology and its importance in the current context. From its origin to its evolution, including its implications, we will delve into a complete analysis that will allow us to better understand the scope of Dendrology and its relevance in today's society.

Leaf shape is a common method used to identify trees.

Dendrology (Ancient Greek: δένδρον, dendron, "tree"; and Ancient Greek: -λογία, -logia, science of or study of) or xylology (Ancient Greek: ξύλον, ksulon, "wood") is the science and study of woody plants (trees, shrubs, and lianas), specifically, their taxonomic classifications. There is no sharp boundary between plant taxonomy and dendrology; woody plants not only belong to many different plant families, but these families may be made up of both woody and non-woody members. Some families include only a few woody species. Dendrology, as a discipline of industrial forestry, tends to focus on identification of economically useful woody plants and their taxonomic interrelationships. As an academic course of study, dendrology will include all woody plants, native and non-native, that occur in a region. A related discipline is the study of sylvics, which focuses on the autecology of genera and species.

In the past, dendrology included the study of the natural history of woody species in specific regions, but this aspect is now considered part of ecology. The field also plays a role in conserving rare or endangered species.

Relationship with botany

Dendrology is a branch of botany that specializes in the characterization and identification of woody plants, while botany is the study of all types of general plants.
