        <gco:CharacterString>This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Tree Ring. The data include parameters of tree ring with a geographic location of Virginia, United States Of America. The time period coverage is from 96 to -54 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.</gco:CharacterString>
      </gmd:abstract>
      <gmd:purpose>
        <gco:CharacterString>Tree ring data from the International Tree Ring Data Bank and World Data Center for Paleoclimatology archives. Most data sets include raw treering measurements (most are annual ring width, with some collections of earlywood or latewood width or wood density), plus chronologies (standardized growth indices for a site compiled from multiple treering samples). Reconstructions of climate variables are included with some of these data sets.  Each data type is stored in a separate data file; the data type is coded into the file name. For details please see: http://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/paleoclimatology/tree-ring</gco:CharacterString>

        <gco:CharacterString>STUDY NOTES: Purpose of Collection: # Climatology # NOAA Template Raw Measurements file added 2019-02-08. 
ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Successful dendroclimatic reconstructions require separating trees with strong climate records in their tree rings (sensitive trees) from those with weak climate signals (complacent trees). Traditionally, dendroclimatologists identify sensitive trees based on their growing site and favor trees from high elevation or xeric sites; however, recently dendroclimatologists have explored the potential of bottomland hardwood sites because they harbor some of the oldest trees in the eastern United States. The objective of this study was to contrast the dendroclimatic sensitivity of Fagus grandifolia Ehrh. growing on a floodplain vs. a river terrace. Although the difference in elevation between these two sites was only 10 m, this represented a substantial difference in frequency and duration of flooding. Tree cores from Fagus grandifolia growing on the floodplain and on the terrace were collected to create two master chronologies from the tree ring widths. The ring width indices from these two sites were correlated with temperature, precipitation, and Palmer Drought Severity Index. At the terrace site, significant dendroclimatic correlations existed during the summer months with Palmer Drought Severity Index, precipitation, and temperature. No significant dendroclimatic relationships existed for the Fagus grandifolia growing on the floodplain. These results identify the fine line that exists between sensitive and complacent trees within bottomland hardwood sites and identifies a geomorphic region (terrace sites) that has traditionally been overlooked in dendroclimatic studies but which produces sensitive tree ring records.</gco:CharacterString>
