Lynn Hollow Tree Ring Chronology from Tennessee (200 to 47 BP)

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring chronology from Lynn Hollow, Tennessee, United States. The data cover 247 years, from 200 to 47 calendar years before present (BP). NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) published this study, which was last updated in 1997.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width parameter as a climate proxy.
• Calibrate the tree ring chronology against other paleoclimate records from the region for multi-proxy analysis.
• Analyze growth patterns in the tree ring series to identify extreme climatic events like droughts during the covered period.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 247-year time period (200 to 47 BP).
• 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 1997.
• The geographic scope is limited to a single site (Lynn Hollow, Tennessee).
• The dataset's sample size (number of tree cores or series) is unknown, which may affect statistical robustness.
