Acadia National Park Tree Ring Chronology from 110 to 42 BCE

110 to 42 BCE tree ring data from Acadia National Park, Maine, USA, archived by NOAA's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The dataset provides parameters for dendrochronological analysis to reconstruct past climate conditions. This study was published by NOAA NCEI in 1992.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct annual temperature or precipitation anomalies from tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrate climate models using the 152-year chronology of environmental proxies.
• Analyze growth response to climatic events within the specific geographic location of Maine.
• Cross-date and validate other regional tree ring chronologies using this ITRDB series.

Strengths

• 152-year temporal coverage from 110 to 42 BCE.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.

Limitations

• Sample size and replication statistics are unknown.
• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1992.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single region in Maine.
