Lithuanian Tree Ring Chronology from 131 to -21 BP

131 to -21 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from a site in Lithuania, Northern Europe. This archived paleoclimatology study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Tree Ring.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree-ring width measurements as a proxy.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree-ring chronology with instrumental records for the region.
• Analyze long-term environmental stress events recorded in the tree-ring parameters for the Kaltinenai site.
• Study the response of tree growth to historical climate forcing over a 152-year period.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 152-year period from 131 to -21 BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is limited to a single, relatively short 152-year period.
• Geographic scope is restricted to a single site (Kaltinenai) in Lithuania.
• Sample size, tree count, and specific measured parameters are unknown from the description.
