Tree Ring Chronology from La Camarilla Spain

79 calendar years of tree ring parameters from an undisturbed site in Cuenca, Spain, spanning from 30 to -49 years before present. The data is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information as part of the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. This study was last updated in 1999.

Use Cases

• Analyze tree ring width variations to infer past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation.
• Calibrate the chronology from 30 to -49 BP against other regional paleoclimate proxies.
• Study undisturbed site parameters to assess local environmental history in Cuenca, Spain.

Strengths

• 79-year time-series coverage of tree ring parameters.
• Data originates from an undisturbed site, reducing anthropogenic signal interference.
• Archived and curated by NOAA NCEI, a authoritative environmental data agency.

Limitations

• The dataset is temporally stale, last updated in 1999.
• The geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Spain.
• Specific parameters, sample size, and measurement details are unknown.
