Tree Ring Chronology From Ramsey Cascades Trail In Tennessee

A 210-year tree ring chronology from the Ramsey Cascades Trail in Tennessee, United States, covering the period from 237 to 27 calendar years before present. The dataset provides parameters for dendrochronological analysis and climate reconstruction. It is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width series.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology with instrumental records for the region.
• Analyze growth trends and environmental stressors from the ring width parameter over a 210-year period.
• Cross-date archaeological wood samples from the Tennessee region using this established chronology.

Strengths

• 210-year continuous chronology from 237 to 27 BP.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.

Limitations

• Sample size and replication depth are unknown, which affects statistical confidence.
• The data's temporal coverage ends 27 years BP, limiting analysis of the most recent centuries.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single trail location in Tennessee.
