Finnish Tree Ring Chronology from Pyhan Hakin National Park

307 to -28 calendar years before present of tree ring width data from Finland. The dataset is part of the NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archive and was contributed by Schweingruber. This archived study was last updated in 1978.

Use Cases

• Calibrating climate proxies by analyzing tree ring width variations over a 335-year period.
• Reconstructing past temperature or precipitation anomalies for Finland using the ring width time-series.
• Cross-dating and validating other regional tree ring chronologies with the PISY (Pinus sylvestris) species data.
• Studying long-term forest growth responses to environmental changes in the Pyhan Hakin National Park region.

Strengths

• Covers a 335-year time period (307 to -28 BP), providing a multi-century environmental record.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) World Data Service.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1978.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single national park in Finland, limiting broader regional analysis.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and data completeness are unknown from the provided metadata.
