Dutch Tree Ring Chronology from 71 to -36 BP

71 to -36 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from the Netherlands, Western Europe. This paleoclimatology study is archived and provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data was last updated in the NOAA system in 1986.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width or density parameters.
• Calibrate regional dendrochronological chronologies for the Netherlands using the provided time-series.
• Analyze environmental changes in Western Europe from 71 to -36 BP based on tree ring growth patterns.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 107-year period from 71 to -36 calendar years before present.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is limited to a short, ancient 107-year window.
• Data is temporally stale, with a last recorded update in 1986.
