Pammel State Park Tree Ring Chronology for Paleoclimate Study

315 to -31 calendar years BP tree ring data from a site in Iowa, United States. This paleoclimatology study contains parameters of tree rings and is archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The dataset was last updated in 1981.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrating climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology with other proxy records for the period 315 to -31 BP.
• Studying ecological responses to historical climate events through annual growth variations captured in the rings.

Strengths

• Covers a 346-year time period from 315 to -31 calendar years before present.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset's last update was in 1981, indicating potential staleness and lack of recent methodological revisions.
• Specific sample size, row count, and measurement parameters are not provided in the available metadata.
