Lithuanian Tree Ring Chronology From 129 to -47 BP

Tree ring data from a site in Lithuania, Northern Europe, used for paleoclimate reconstruction. The time series covers the period from 129 to -47 calendar years before present. This archived study is provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct historical temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree ring width chronology.
• Calibrate the tree ring chronology against other proxy records for the specified time period.
• Analyze growth patterns in the tree ring series to infer past environmental stresses.
• Validate regional climate models using the proxy data point from Lithuania.

Strengths

• Data spans a defined 176-year period from 129 to -47 BP.
• Archived and maintained by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset's last known update was in 1997, indicating potential staleness in metadata or access methods.
• Specific sample depth, replication, and measurement parameters are unknown without accessing full metadata.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site (Naujoji Uta) in Lithuania.
