Tree-ring data are just one of type of many proxies of past climate.

Dendroclimatologists are interested in past climate….why? Synoptic climatology – Climate conditions can be estimated from a variety of natural environmental records going back to well before humans existed. Dendroclimatology

-Site selection -Tree age -Tree shape -Injured trees or those in the understory are avoided -Sample depth -Standardization removes non-climatic trends -Climate data Dendroclimatology

Correlation analysis and Response Function Analysis Correlation analysis complements results from response function analysis. RFA primarily concerned with temp and precip. Correlation analysis can be done on ALL climate variables Range of values = -1.0 < r < +1.0 Associated with each r-value is its p-value which tests for statistical significance. In general, we want p-values less than 0.05, or p < As in response function analysis, we also analyze months from the previous growing season (why?). As in response function analysis, we look for groupings of monthly variables to indicate seasonal response by trees.
