Tóm tắt	Dendrochronology is the science of dating and interpreting wood and climate from tree rings. Each annual ring records the tree's growth response to weather during that year: wide rings indicate favorable conditions (adequate water, warmth, light); narrow rings indicate stress (drought, cold, shade). By crossmatching ring-width patterns across trees and backward in time using dead wood, researchers construct chronologies extending centuries to millennia, providing archives of regional precipitation, temperature, and hydroclimate independent of instrumental records.	Pedogenesis modeling is a quantitative method used in agronomy and soil science to simulate the processes by which soils form and evolve over time. Rooted in Hans Jenny's 1941 factorial framework — soil as a function of climate, organisms, relief, parent material, and time — modern approaches translate these conceptual drivers into coupled numerical process equations, allowing researchers to reconstruct past soil states and project future soil properties under changing land use or climate scenarios.	Phytolith analysis is a laboratory technique used to identify and quantify microscopic silica bodies deposited in plant cells, recovered from soils, sediments, or archaeological contexts. Because phytoliths preserve long after organic material has decayed, the method is central to reconstructing past vegetation, crop histories, land use, and soil development across agronomy, paleoecology, and archaeobotany.
