Argentinian Tree Ring Chronology from 286 to -34 BP

A 320-year tree ring chronology from Argentina, spanning from 286 to -34 calendar years before present (BP). The dataset is part of the NOAA NCEI Paleoclimatology archive and was originally published in 1984.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrating radiocarbon dates by comparing the tree ring chronology with other proxy records.
• Analyzing climate variability over a 320-year period in Argentina from the provided time series.
• Studying the response of local tree species to historical climate events documented in the chronology.

Strengths

• 320-year temporal coverage from 286 to -34 BP.
• Data originates from the authoritative NOAA NCEI Paleoclimatology archive.

Limitations

• Data is from a single geographic location in Argentina, limiting spatial representativeness.
• The dataset was last updated in 1984, indicating potential staleness in metadata or methods.
• Specific parameters, sample sizes, and measurement details are not provided in the available description.
