Tree cores and discs were collected during fieldwork in Yakutia in 2018 by scientists from Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research and University of Potsdam, Germany, The Institute for Biological problems of the Cryolithozone, Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian branch, and The Institute of Natural Sciences, North-Eastern Federal University of Yakutsk, Yakutsk, Russia (Kruse et al., 2019). The samples were dried, sanded, digitized and further processed by identifying the ring layers end exporting the tree ring width for each year. The site chronologies were established by cross-dating all samples to each other, which helped coping with small ring sizes but especially with missing rings, and frost rings.We processed samples of four species, Larix gmelinii (LAGM), Picea obovata (PIOB), Pinus sylvestris (PISY) and Pinus sibirica (PISI). These were recorded at a variety of locations: LAGM from Lake Khamra sites EN18079, -80, -81, -83 (N59.974919° E112.958985°, N59.977106° ... : The data containing files in dendrochronological TUCSON format without header for each of the four tree species, Larix gmelinii (LAGM), Picea obovata (PIOB), Pinus sylvestris (PISY) and Pinus sibirica (PISI) are published at Zenodo (Kruse et al., 2022, doi:10.5281/zenodo.6145466). All samples taken at breast height (1.3 m above ground).LAGM: 35 series of 31 treesPIOB: 17 series of 14 treesPISY: 26 series of 12 treesPISI: 12 series of 9 treesFurther funding by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association. ...
