Historical Timber Tree-Ring Data from Regensburg, Germany

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives this tree-ring dataset from historical timbers in Regensburg, Bavaria. The data covers a time period from 215 to 111 calendar years before present. It is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation using tree-ring width parameters.
• Analyze historical timber sourcing and forest composition from the Bavarian geographic location data.
• Calibrate regional dendrochronological sequences for the period 215-111 BP.
• Study long-term environmental changes in the Regensburg area through tree-ring proxies.

Strengths

• Data spans 104 years (215-111 BP) of historical coverage.
• Curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Limitations

• Sample size and number of tree cores are unknown, potentially limiting statistical power.
• Temporal coverage is relatively short for some paleoclimate reconstructions.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single location in Bavaria, Germany.
