I-World Data Service for Paleoclimatology ilawula i-International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB), elona vimba likhulu kwihlabathi ledatha yeringi yemithi.  Ukongamela kubonelelwa yiKomiti yeeNgcebiso ye- ITRDB . I-ITRDB ibandakanya ububanzi besangqa ekrwada, ukuxinana komthi, imilinganiselo ye-isotope, kunye nezalathiso zesalathiso sokukhula kwendawo ukusuka kwiindawo ezingaphezu kwama-5,000 kumazwekazi amathandathu. Iiparamitha zemozulu ezakhiwe ngokutsha ziyafumaneka kwezinye iindawo.

I-Dendrochronology ifunda ububanzi obuguquguqukayo bonyaka kwiplanga. Iipateni zomthi ezikhuni ezisuka kwilifa lenkcubeko ziqulethe ulwazi olulodwa malunga nobalo-maxesha lwangaphambili, uqoqosho lwentlalo, imbonakalo yembali kunye nokusetyenziswa kwayo, imozulu kunye nobuchwephesha bomthi. I-DCCD yindawo yokugcina yedijithali kunye nethala leencwadi elisebenzisanayo ledatha yeringi yemithi. Umxholo wayo uphuhliswa ngophando, phakathi kwezinye: iindawo ze-archaeological (kubandakanya imihlaba emidala), ukuphuka kweenqanawa, izakhiwo, ifenitshala, imizobo, imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kunye nezixhobo zomculo. I-DCCD isekwe kuMgangatho weDatha weRing (TriDaS) kwaye ivumela ukuguqulwa kwezinye iifomathi zedatha ezisetyenziswa ngokubanzi. Iqulethe uthotho lwedijithali lomlinganiselo womthi kunye ne-avareji yeziganeko, kunye nemetadata yazo echazayo netolikayo. Ivumela abaxhasi ukuba balawule kwaye balawule ukufikelela kwiidatha zabo.

​I-International Multiproxy Paleofire Database (IMPD) nguvimba wedatha yembali yomlilo ethathwe kwiiproxi zendalo ezifana nezivala zemithi kunye namalahle kunye neerekhodi zentlenga. I-IMPD yasekwa kunye nesikhokelo esivela kwibhodi yeengcebiso ukubonelela ngogcino olusisigxina lweerekhodi ze-paleofire ezikumgangatho ophezulu ezivela kwihlabathi jikelele. Ukufumana ulwazi oluthe kratya malunga nedatha ye-paleofire, jonga yethu Intshayelelo yoKwakha kwakhona iMbali yoMlilo .

Singabaphathi beSizwe (i-USA) abakhokelayo kwidatha yendalo esingqongileyo, kwaye silawula enye yezona ndawo zinkulu zogcino lwazi olusemoyeni, oluselunxwemeni, lwe-geophysical, kunye nophando lolwandle ehlabathini. I-NCEI yenza igalelo kumnqophiso weNESDIS ngokuphuhlisa iimveliso kunye neenkonzo ezintsha ezithatha icandelo lezenzululwazi kunye nokwenza ngcono ukufunyanwa kwedatha. 

Le glossary ye-intanethi iguqulelwe kwi-Multilingual Glossary ye-Dendrochronology (1995). Iqulethe inkcazo kunye nokuguqulelwa kwamagama angama-351 kwiilwimi ezisi-7: IsiNgesi, isiJamani, isiFrentshi, iSpanish, isiTaliyane, isiPhuthukezi nesiRashiya.

Ukubeka iliso kuTrendi kwiBurn Severity (MTBS) yinkqubo yee-multi-agency eyilelwe ukulandelelanisa ubuqatha bokutsha kunye neeperimitha zemililo kuwo onke amazwe ase-United States ukusuka kwi-1984 nangaphaya.

​Idatha ye-Paleoclimatology ithathwa kwimithombo yendalo efana nezangqa zomthi, ii-ice cores, corals, stalagmites, kunye nolwandle kunye nentlenga yechibi. Ezi nkcukacha zemozulu engummeli zandisa uvimba wolwazi lwemozulu kunye nemozulu ngamakhulu ukuya kwizigidi zeminyaka. Idatha iquka uthotho lwexesha lomlinganiselo we-geophysical okanye ibhayoloji kunye nezinye izinto eziguquguqukayo zemozulu ezakhiwe ngokutsha ezifana nobushushu kunye nemvula. Iingcali zenzululwazi zisebenzisa idatha ye-paleoclimatology kunye nolwazi lokuqonda ukuguquguquka kwemozulu yendalo kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu kwixesha elizayo.

Wamkelekile kwiwebhusayithi ye-TRiDaS apho unokufumana ulwazi malunga nomzamo woluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe ukuvelisa umgangatho wedatha jikelele kwidatha ye-dendrochronological. Inqaku elichaza umgangatho lipapashwe kwi-Dendrochronologia kwaye lifumaneka ngeSayensi Direct . Ungajonga kwakhona amaxwebhu e-TRiDaS ukufumana ngakumbi.

Khangela iDatha yeSayensi yeHlathi yeDendrochronology (kunye namanye amanqaku ejenali yeSayensi yeHlathi), izahluko zeencwadi, iibhulethi zobugcisa, amaphepha enkomfa, kunye nokunye.

​I-OldList yidatabase yemithi yamandulo. Injongo yalo kukuchonga ubudala obubona buphezulu ukuba iintlobo ngeentlobo zezilwanyana kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zinokubufumana kangangokuba abantu abadala abakhethekileyo baqapheleke. Ukongeza kolu luhlu lwangaphambili lwe-OldList, u-Neil Pederson e-Harvard Forest kunye nabalingane kwiNkqubo ye-Virginia Tech Tree bagcina iqabane Eastern OldList , igxile kwimithi emidala ekhula kwimpuma ye-United States.

I-Eastern OLDLIST yi 'franchise' yedatha ye- OLDLIST , isiseko sedatha yemithi yamandulo kunye nobudala bayo. Injongo yolu luhlu kukuchonga kunye nokuqaqambisa ubudala obuphezulu beentlobo kwimpuma yoMntla Melika. Olu luhlu luza kuqulatha kuphela iminyaka yemithi engqinisiswe kakuhle okanye ebhalwe kakuhle (jonga iNgcaciso yobuGcisa ngezantsi ngolwazi oluthe kratya).

Wamkelekile kwiDatha yeGymnosperm, eyona mthombo wolwazi kwi-conifers kunye namahlakani azo. Ukusukela oko sangena kwi-intanethi ngo-1997, uvimba weenkcukacha utsale umdla kwihlabathi jikelele njengomthombo wolwazi ofikeleleka lula, ochaneke ngokwenzululwazi ngohlelo, ingcaciso, i-ikholoji kunye nokusetyenziswa kweli qela lezityalo libalulekileyo ngokwenkcubeko nakwindalo.

Le datha yeentlobo zezityalo ezihambelana ne-dendrochonologically ngoku iqulethe amagama e-1,166 yemithi kunye neentlobo ze-shrub apho amakhonkco omthi ahlalutyelwe kwiincwadi ezipapashiweyo. Uvimba weenkcukacha ubonelela ngeekhowudi ze-ITRDB zeentlobo zemithi.

Olu lwazi lulandelayo lunikwa uhlobo ngalunye okanye ezahlukeneyo: Igama lesiLatini kunye negunya, igama eliqhelekileyo (s) ngesiNgesi kunye / okanye amagama asekuhlaleni angewona aseYurophu. Malunga. Iintlobo ezingamakhulu asixhenxe ezinedatha yeringi yemithi kunye namaxesha akhoyo kwi-International Tree-Ring Data Bank ( ITRDB ), ulwazi olongezelelweyo lubandakanya:

  • I-Crossdating Index (CDI), apho

    • U-"0" ubonisa ukuba uhlobo aluphambanisi, okanye akukho lwazi lunokudityaniswa lukhoyo

    • "1" ibonisa uhlobo olwaziwayo ngokuwela phakathi naphakathi kwemithi (ukubaluleka okungephi kwidendrochronology)

    • "2" ibonisa uhlobo olwaziwayo ukunqumla ummandla (okubaluleke kakhulu kwi-dendrochronology).

*Nceda uqaphele ukuba ukusukela nge-17 kaFebruwari 2022 idatabase ibingekahlaziywa ukusukela ngo-2013.
