The trees (tree rings) are used as markers to calculate the C-14 content.
This is due to the large amount of burnt-out carbon C-14 that is more than 50,000 years old.
This is caused by the increased burning of fossil fuels, starting with the steam engine and coal, and later including petrol, diesel and heating oil.
The high proportion of fossil carbon would otherwise lead to incorrect analyses, a phenomenon that began around 250 years ago. This must be taken into account.
Trees, too, have absorbed these higher levels.
