Lithuanian Tree Ring Chronology from 73 to -47 BP

73 to -47 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring parameters from Lithuania, Northern Europe. The dataset is an archived paleoclimatology study from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. It was last updated in 1997.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width or density time series.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology against other proxy records for the Baltic region.
• Analyze growth anomalies in the tree ring record to identify extreme climatic events like droughts or cold periods.
• Establish a dated chronology for archaeological or geological studies in Lithuania using the provided time period.

Strengths

• Covers a 120-year time period from 73 to -47 BP.
• Geographically specific data from Lithuania, Northern Europe.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1997.
• Unknown sample size and specific measured parameters limit analysis.
• Calendar year BP dating may require conversion for standard timelines.
