Tree ring data from historical timbers in Regensburg, Bavaria, covering a 105-year period from 467 to 362 calendar years before present. The dataset is archived by NOAA's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology and originates from a study by Wilson and Wahlen. The last platform update was recorded in 1588.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width parameters.
- Analyze growth patterns and environmental stress events recorded in the timber's ring sequences.
- Calibrate or extend regional dendrochronological timelines for Bavaria using the 105-year time series.
- Correlate tree ring parameters from this site with other European paleoclimate proxy records.
Strengths
- Covers a specific 105-year period (467-362 BP) for detailed temporal analysis.
