New Zealand Tree Ring Chronology from 239 to 47 BP

Calendar years 239 to 47 BP contain tree ring parameters from a site in New Zealand. The data is archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its Paleoclimatology World Data Service. The associated study type is Tree Ring.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate parameters like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width or density measurements.
• Calibrate regional dendrochronological models by comparing this chronology to other New Zealand tree ring records.
• Analyze environmental history trends over the covered 192-year period using the time-series of tree ring parameters.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 192-year period from 239 to 47 calendar years BP.
• Archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Specific data parameters, row counts, and sample sizes are unknown from the description.
• The geographic coverage is limited to a single location in New Zealand.
