Lithuanian Tree Ring Data from 91 to -48 BP

Tree ring proxy records from the Kajackai-s site in Lithuania, Northern Europe. The dataset covers the period from 91 to -48 calendar years before present. It is an archived paleoclimatology study provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width chronology as a climate proxy.
• Calibrate regional climate models by comparing the proxy time-series data from 91 to -48 BP with other paleoclimate records.
• Study the response of Lithuanian forests to historical climate events recorded in the tree-ring parameters.
• Perform cross-dating analysis by comparing this ITRDB LITH007 series with other tree-ring chronologies from the Baltic region.

Strengths

• Time series coverage spans 139 years (from 91 to -48 BP).
• Geographically specific data from a single site (Kajackai-s, Lithuania).
• Part of the authoritative International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) collection.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1998.
• Sample size and replication depth for the tree-ring series are unknown.
• Limited to a single geographic site, reducing regional representativeness.
