Historical Tree Ring Data from Regensburg, Germany (250-142 BP)

NOAA NCEI archives this paleoclimatology dataset containing tree ring parameters from Bavaria, Germany. The data covers the period from 250 to 142 calendar years before present. It was contributed by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width parameters.
• Calibrate regional dendrochronological sequences by cross-dating the 250-142 BP time series.
• Analyze historical timber sourcing and forest composition from the Regensburg geographic location data.
• Validate climate models for the Bavarian region using the proxy data from the tree ring parameters.

Strengths

• Data spans a 108-year period (250-142 BP), providing a continuous time series.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset's sample size (number of tree cores or rows) is unknown.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a specific 108-year window in the past.
• Geographic scope is restricted to a single location in Bavaria, Germany.
