Dutch Tree Ring Chronology from Landgoed Hillenraad (167 to -36 BP)

Tree ring width chronology data from the Landgoed Hillenraad site in the Netherlands. The dataset provides a 203-year time series covering the period from 167 to -36 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology study was archived by NOAA NCEI's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology, with a last update recorded in 1986.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation from the tree ring width parameter for Western Europe.
• Calibrate and validate climate models using the 203-year chronology from 167 to -36 BP.
• Perform cross-dating of archaeological wood samples from the Netherlands using the established tree ring series.
• Analyze long-term environmental stress events recorded in the ring width data from the Landgoed Hillenraad site.

Strengths

• 203-year continuous chronology from 167 to -36 BP.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Dataset is temporally stale, with a last update in 1986.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single site (Landgoed Hillenraad) in the Netherlands.
• Specific parameters, sample depth, and measurement methods are not detailed in the provided description.
