Considerable progress has been made in assessing European climate variations of the last millennium, but little is known about the Mediterranean region and particularly its eastern part including the Balkan Peninsula. This area, however, will be particularly vulnerable to a predicted temperature increase and precipitation decrease, likely resulting in amplified drought extremes and episodes. Here we present a well-replicated composite tree-ring width chronology of millennial length from Albania, Balkan Peninsula. The Pinus heldreichii Christ dataset contains 302 series from 217 living and dead trees from 3 high-elevation sites, and spans the years 968-2008. Signal strength and growth-climate relationships were investigated using subsets according to location, age class, and growth level, as well as differently detrended chronology versions. Growth comparisons amongst the 3 sites' chronologies, between age classes and between growth-rate groups reveal an overall strong common signal. Growth-climate relationships over the last 100 yr, however, indicate that tree-ring formation does not depend on one single dominant factor, but rather on various combinations of summer precipitation and temperature resulting in temporally varying drought sensitivity. Our results emphasize a mixed and variable climate signal, corresponding with findings from other P. heldreichii sites across the Balkan Peninsula and Southern Italy. STUDY NOTES: The 'pith-offset' (PO), i.e. the number of missing years # between the innermost ring on a core sample and the pith, # was estimated to obtain the absolute biological age of # each tree. The PO estimates were based on the growth rates # and the curvatures of the tree rings from the existing # material and if possible, compared with the second core # of the same tree (Braker 1981 Mitt Forstl Bundesvers Wien # 142:75-102). # # Core PO # AT101B 131 # AT101a 28 # AT102a 15 # AT103a 24 # AT104a 199 # AT106a 199 # AT150A 37 # AT152B 199 # AT155a 123 # AT156d 199 # AT158d 50 # AT159a 199 # AT1d01a 199 # AT1d03a 5 # AT1d05a 40 # AT1S4b 36 # AT1S6a 199 # AT2001 199 # AT203a 199 # AT301b2 33 # AT302a 199 # AT303a 0 # AT304b1 28 # AT306a 199 # AT307a 50 # AT308b 22 # AT309b 199 # AT315a2 199 # AT317b 237 # AT401d 20 # AT402b 199 # AT404a 199 # AT405b1 199 # AT406b 199 # AT410b 199 # AT4d01a 24 # AT4S1b 54 # AT501D 199 NOAA Template Raw Measurements file added 2019-02-05.
