8 Example: paleoclimate from tree ring width data Southern Colorado Plateau paleoclimate reconstructions from Salzer and Kipfmueller (2005)

9 Summary Trees are an important growing-season, annual-resolution paleoclimatic archive, with a sensor that can be used to develop reconstructions of moisture and/or temperature. Principal strengths are in replication depth and dating precision. Principal uncertainties are in the interpretation of tree-ring data for paleoclimate reconstruction, because of a low signal:noise ratio, multiple possible climate and non climatic influences on growth fluctuations. Next: Discussion of Meko et al. (2007)
