Argentine Tree Ring Chronology from 260 to 24 BCE

260 to 24 BCE tree ring data from Rio Negro, Argentina, archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. The dataset provides parameters for paleoclimate reconstruction under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated study type is Tree Ring.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width parameters.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing tree ring chronologies with other proxy records for the period 260-24 BCE.
• Analyze growth patterns in the Rio Negro region to study ecological responses to historical environmental changes.

Strengths

• Covers a 284-year period from 260 to 24 BCE, providing a multi-century climate record.
• Archived and maintained by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last recorded update in 1974.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and data granularity are unknown from the description.
