What is dendrologist?

Dendrologists are scientists who specialize in the study of trees and woody plants. They work in a variety of settings, including academia, government agencies, and private industry. Some focus on tree biotechnology, while others study forest ecology or tree genetics. Dendrologists may also specialize in forest management and conservation, urban forestry, or landscape design. They use a range of tools and techniques to study trees, including dendrochronology (the study of tree rings), plant anatomy, and molecular biology. Dendrologists often work outdoors and may travel extensively to collect data and samples. They may also collaborate with other scientists, land managers, and policymakers to develop strategies for preserving and managing forest ecosystems.
