Schweingruber Tree Ring Chronology from Mangazeja, Russia

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology provides a tree-ring chronology from the Mangazeja site in Russia. The data covers a time period from 704 to -19 calendar years before present (BP). This archived study is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree-ring width measurements as a proxy.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the chronology data against known historical climate events.
• Analyze long-term forest growth trends and ecological responses to climate change in the Russian region.
• Establish cross-dating references for other paleoclimate studies in Eastern Europe using this standardized chronology.

Strengths

• Chronology spans over 700 years, from 704 to -19 BP, providing a long-term climate record.
• Data is archived and standardized by NOAA NCEI, a leading authority for paleoclimate data.

Limitations

• The dataset's last update is recorded as 1969, indicating the core data may be temporally stale.
• Specific sample depth, measurement parameters, and site details are not provided in the basic description.
