Historical Bavarian Timber Tree-Ring Data from 299-168 BP

299 to 168 calendar years before present (BP) of tree-ring parameters from historical timbers in Bavaria, Germany. The dataset is part of the NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archive, specifically the NCEI Tree Ring study type. It is provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation using tree-ring width and density parameters.
• Analyze growth patterns and environmental stressors in historical European forests from the tree-ring data.
• Calibrate or extend regional dendrochronological master chronologies for Bavaria using the dated timber samples.
• Study the dating and provenance of historical construction timbers from the Mitterfels Schloss site.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 132-year period (299-168 BP) for high-resolution temporal analysis.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Very limited temporal coverage of 132 years restricts analysis of long-term climate trends.
• Geographic scope is restricted to a single location (Bavaria, Germany), limiting regional generalizability.
• Sample size, data volume, and specific measured parameters (beyond 'tree ring parameters') are unknown.
