Hemmed in Hollow and Kyle's Landing Tree Ring Chronologies from Arkansas

280 to -42 calendar years before present of tree ring data from two sites in Arkansas, United States. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service. The data was last updated in 1992.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width or density parameters as climate proxies.
• Calibrate the tree-ring chronology from Hemmed in Hollow against the Kyle's Landing chronology to verify regional climate signals.
• Analyze the growth parameter time series for extreme climatic events within the 322-year period covered.
• Use the geographic location parameter to compare this Arkansas tree-ring data with other regional paleoclimate records.

Strengths

• Covers a 322-year period from 280 to -42 calendar years BP, providing a multi-century climate record.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last update date of 1992, potentially lacking modern reanalysis.
• The specific sample size (number of tree cores or series) and measurement parameters are not provided in the description.
• Geographic coverage is limited to two specific sites in Arkansas, which may not represent broader regional climate.
