Solenoya River Tree Ring Chronology From 313 to -40 BP

313 to -40 calendar years before present (BP) of tree-ring width data from the Solenoya River region in Russia. The dataset is part of the NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archive, specifically from the Schweingruber collection and the International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB). It was archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and last updated in 1990.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies by analyzing the annual tree-ring width series.
• Calibrate climate proxy models using the dated chronology spanning over 350 years.
• Study ecological responses to historical climate events by examining growth patterns in the ring-width data.
• Compare this Eastern European tree-ring chronology with other ITRDB records to analyze spatial climate patterns.

Strengths

• Chronology covers a 353-year period from 313 to -40 BP, providing a multi-century climate record.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data recency is low, last updated in 1990, potentially lacking modern reanalysis or corrections.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and site details are not provided in the basic description.
