Lithuanian Tree-Ring Chronology From 147 to -21 BP

Tree-ring data from Lithuania in Northern Europe, archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. The time period coverage spans from 147 to -21 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology study is part of the NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology collection.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree-ring width parameter.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological models with the provided calendar years before present (BP) timeline.
• Analyze growth patterns and environmental stress events recorded in the tree-ring sequences for the Lithuanian region.

Strengths

• Data spans 168 years, from 147 to -21 calendar years BP.
• Archived and maintained by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• The dataset's last update date is 1971, indicating it is temporally stale and may lack modern methodological revisions.
• Specific sample size (row count), measurement parameters, and file formats are not provided in the available metadata.
