Historical German Timber Tree Ring Data from 213-71 BP

213 to 71 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring parameters from historical timbers in Straubing, Bavaria, Germany. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Tree Ring.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width and density parameters.
• Calibrate regional dendrochronological timelines by cross-dating the tree ring sequences from the Straubing timbers.
• Analyze historical forest growth responses to environmental events within the 213-71 BP time window.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 142-year time period from 213 to 71 calendar years BP.
• Geographically precise data from Straubing in Bavaria, Germany.

Limitations

• Sample size and number of individual tree series are unknown, limiting statistical power.
• The temporal coverage is narrow (142 years) relative to long-term climate cycles.
• The last platform update date (1879) suggests metadata may be outdated.
