Navajo Mountain Tree Ring Chronology From 481 BP

Tree ring width measurements from the Navajo Mountain site in Utah, United States. The chronology covers a period from 481 to -21 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width time-series.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological methods with the dated tree ring sequence.
• Analyze long-term ecological responses to environmental change from the site-specific growth record.

Strengths

• Time-series spans over 500 calendar years, providing a multi-century record.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The exact sample size, number of cores, or replication statistics are unknown.
• Data coverage ends 21 years before present (BP), which may limit analysis of the most recent period.
