Adycha River Bog Tree Ring Chronology for Paleoclimate Reconstruction

510 calendar years of tree-ring data, from 469 to -41 years before present, provide a proxy record for past climate conditions. The dataset is part of the NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology archive and is associated with the International Tree-Ring Data Bank. It was contributed by researcher Schweingruber and last updated in the archival record in 1991.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies by analyzing the tree-ring width chronology.
• Calibrate the chronology against other paleoclimate proxies using the documented calendar year timeline.
• Study forest growth responses to climate events in a Siberian bog environment during the covered 510-year period.
• Validate spatial climate field reconstructions for Russia using this site-specific Eastern European record.

Strengths

• Covers a continuous 510-year period suitable for analyzing multi-decadal climate trends.
• Part of the authoritative, peer-reviewed International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) collection.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with no updates indicated since its archival in 1991.
• The specific sample depth, measurement parameters, and potential missing years within the range are unknown without metadata.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single bog site near the Adycha River in Russia.
