Tree Ring Chronology from Moore's Creek Battlefield, 105 to -35 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree-ring chronology dataset from Moore's Creek National Battlefield in North Carolina, USA. The data provides parameters for dendrochronological analysis, covering a time period from 105 to -35 calendar years before present. This study was published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information in 1985.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree-ring width measurements.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the chronology with known historical climate events.
• Analyze growth response patterns to specific environmental stressors recorded in the ring parameters.
• Establish a dated timeline for local ecological changes at the Moore's Creek Battlefield site.

Strengths

• Data spans 140 years of temporal coverage from 105 to -35 BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• The dataset's last update was in 1985, indicating potential methodological staleness.
• Specific sample size, row count, and measured parameters are not provided in the metadata.
