European beech tree ring data, Rhön Biosphere Reserve, Germany, 2021

This dataset includes tree ring width data, derived from tree cores, that were sampled from sites across the Rhön Biosphere Reserve (Germany). At each chosen site three trees were cored, with two or three cores taken per cored tree. Data was collected in August 2021. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/8d6effc3-54f2-4770-ac34-63320eb9e4e2

Statement
Tree cores were sampled using increment borers. At each site three trees were chosen for coring, with two or three cores taken per tree. Cores were sanded and ring widths measured based on high-resolution images of the sanded cores. Cores were cross-dated and summary statistics used to compare cross-dating accuracy. The dataset contains the resulting dated ring width series.
