Trediakovsky's versification reform

Trediakovsky's versification reform was Vasily Trediakovsky's 1735 proposal, set out in his treatise A New and Brief Method, to replace Russian syllabic verse with syllabo-tonic verse.

Tredici Altari

Tredici Altari (santuario dei Tredici Altari), the Sanctuary of the Thirteen Altars at Lavinium, Pratica di Mare, Pomezia, Lazio: a row of thirteen red-painted tufa altars, 6th-4th century BCE, a federal sanctuary of the Latin League near the Heroon of Aeneas.

Tree

Tree: a perennial woody plant with a single trunk and crown, defined variously as at least 2 m (FAO) to over 6 m tall. Covers wood, xylem transport, tree rings, forest extent (4.14 billion ha), and deforestation.

Tree (abstract data type)

A tree, or tree data structure, is an abstract data type of parent-child linked nodes with one root and no cycles, used for hierarchies like document models and syntax trees.

Tree (descriptive set theory)

In descriptive set theory, a tree is a set of finite sequences closed under taking initial segments, the standard device for coding closed, analytic, and coanalytic sets of infinite sequences.

Tree (graph theory)

A tree, or tree graph, is a connected graph with no cycles, having exactly one path between any two vertices and n minus 1 edges on n vertices.

Tree automaton

A tree automaton is a finite-state machine that accepts trees rather than strings by labeling subtrees with states; it recognizes regular tree languages and underpins XML schema validation.

Tree breeding

Tree breeding, also known as tree improvement, applies genetics to select and cross trees with desirable traits such as faster growth and disease resistance, improving populations over decades.

Tree dating (phylogenetics)

Tree dating is a phylogenetic method that estimates species divergence times by calibrating an evolutionary tree with dated evidence, usually fossils, under a molecular clock model.

Tree decomposition

A tree decomposition of a graph maps vertices into bags arranged on a tree, covering every edge; the related measure treewidth was introduced by Robertson and Seymour in 1986.

Tree fern

Tree ferns are ferns, mostly in the order Cyatheales (~600 species, 7–8 families), that grow trunk-like upright rhizomes mantled in adventitious roots rather than wood; Cyatheaceae holds ~90% of species, with Gondwanan origins and CITES Appendix II trade regulation.

Tree fern cultivation

Tree fern cultivation is the horticulture of arborescent ferns, grown for their fibrous trunks and crowns of large fronds, with care centered on the trunk and crown.

Tree fern cultivation: Dicksonia and Dicksoniaceae in horticulture

Tree fern cultivation in temperate gardens centers on Dicksonia antarctica, the soft tree fern, sold as harvested trunk logs that regrow fronds and need daily watering and winter crown protection.

Tree fern forest ecology

Tree fern forest ecology is the study of forests where tree ferns dominate, as in New Zealand and Australia, where they filter seedlings, host epiphytes, and colonize after disturbance.

Tree frog

Tree frog: arboreal frog of families Hylidae, Rhacophoridae, and Pelodryadidae, named for habit rather than ancestry. Known for adhesive toe pads with hexagonal cells and nanopillars that stick by wet adhesion, capillarity plus boundary friction, and for foam-nest breeding.

Tree house

A tree house, also called a tree fort, is a building built partly among the branches of one or more living trees, which serve as its primary structural support.

Tree line

Treeline (tree line): the elevation or latitude beyond which climate is too cold for trees, defined as the line connecting uppermost trees >3 m. Set by growing-season temperatures (6.4 °C mean, 94 days), it shifted upslope 0.40 m/yr from 1901–2021, lagging warming by 50+ years.

Tree of 40 Fruit

Tree of 40 Fruit: series of grafted living sculptures by Sam Van Aken of Syracuse University, each bearing up to 40 stone-fruit varieties (plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries, almonds); first tree, Tree 75, dedicated 2011 on the Syracuse campus.

Tree of Attacks with Pruning

Tree of Attacks with Pruning (TAP) is an automated jailbreak method for large language models, introduced in December 2023, that uses one LLM to attack another black-box model.

Tree of Jesse

Tree of Jesse: Christian art motif showing Christ's ancestors as a tree rising from Jesse of Bethlehem, father of King David; based on Isaiah 11:1, appearing from the late 11th century, popular in Gothic stained glass and 15th-16th century German art.

Tree of life

Tree of life: a religious symbol of a life-giving tree (Genesis, Yggdrasil, Mesopotamian sacred trees) and, in biology, the branching phylogenetic diagram of all organisms, now built from genomic data.

Tree of life (biblical)

The biblical tree of life (Hebrew: עֵץ חַיִּים) is the tree in the Garden of Eden whose fruit confers unending life, guarded after Adam's expulsion by cherubim.

Tree of life (biology)

Tree of life (biology): the phylogenetic tree of all life, from Darwin's 1859 diagram and Woese's 1990 three-domain tree to today's two-domain, network-informed phylogenomic view, shaped by horizontal gene transfer.

Tree of life (עֵץ חַיִּים) (Kabbalah)

The Tree of life (עֵץ חַיִּים, Etz Chaim) in Kabbalah is a diagram of ten sefirot and twenty-two lettered paths, mapping the structure of the Godhead.

Tree of the knowledge of good and evil

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil (עֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע) is the one tree God forbids Adam to eat from in the Garden of Eden, in Genesis 2.

Tree of Thoughts

Tree of Thoughts (ToT) is a prompting framework for large language models that searches a tree of intermediate reasoning states, exploring paths and backtracking, introduced in 2023.

Tree planting

Tree planting: deliberate establishment of trees by seedlings or seeds for restoration, timber, carbon removal, or urban cooling. Also called afforestation and reforestation; value depends on site, species, survival, and monitoring, and cannot replace emissions cuts.

Tree pruning (horticulture)

Tree pruning is the selective removal of branches from trees and woody plants to control growth, improve fruit yield and quality, and maintain plant health.

Tree squirrel

Tree squirrels are the arboreal, tree-nesting ecotype of Sciuridae (58 genera, ~285 species), distinct from ground and gliding squirrels; they retain the primitive sciurid forelimb morphology, descend from arboreal Eocene fossils, and include urban species like Sciurus carolinensis.
