Lithuanian Tree-Ring Chronology from 138 to -21 BP

Tree-ring data from Lithuania covering a 159-year period from 138 to -21 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service. The dataset was last updated in 1971.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree-ring width or density time-series.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological models for the Baltic region using the dated tree-ring chronology.
• Analyze environmental responses to historical events within the 138 to -21 BP period recorded in the tree-ring parameters.

Strengths

• Time-series covers a specific 159-year period from 138 to -21 BP.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset's last update was in 1971, indicating potential methodological staleness.
• Specific data parameters, sample size, and measurement details are not provided in the description.
