Allred Lake Tree Ring Chronology from 765 to 42 BC

Tree ring parameters from a site in Missouri, USA, covering 807 years from 765 to 42 BC. The data is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its Paleoclimatology program. The study was published in 1992.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width time-series.
• Calibrate the tree ring chronology against other regional paleoclimate proxies using the documented calendar year timeline.
• Analyze long-term ecological growth patterns at the Allred Lake Natural Area site.

Strengths

• Covers a long temporal span of 807 calendar years.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1992.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single site in Missouri.
