Tree Ring Chronology from Cyprus for Paleoclimate Reconstruction

322 to -30 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea. The dataset contains parameters for paleoclimatology research and is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data was last updated in 1980.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width parameters.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological models using the provided calendar year timeline.
• Analyze long-term environmental stress signals in Mediterranean tree species from ring density data.

Strengths

• Covers a long temporal range of 352 calendar years (322 to -30 BP).
• Geographically specific data from the island of Cyprus.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1980.
• Specific sample size, row count, and column details are unknown.
