Imininingwane & Izixhumanisi

I-World Data Service for Paleoclimatology iphethe i-International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB), okuyingobo yomlando enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni yedatha yendandatho yesihlahla.  Ukwengamela kuhlinzekwa yiKomidi Lokweluleka le- ITRDB . I-ITRDB ihlanganisa ububanzi bendandatho eluhlaza, ukuminyana kokhuni, izilinganiso ze-isotope, kanye nezinkomba zenkomba yokukhula kwesayithi kusuka kumasayithi angaphezu kuka-5,000 emazwenikazi ayisithupha. Imingcele yesimo sezulu esakhiwe kabusha iyatholakala kwezinye izindawo.

I-Dendrochronology ifunda ububanzi obuhlukahlukene baminyaka yonke bendandatho ngokhuni. Amaphethini endandatho yezihlahla okhunini avela kumagugu amasiko aqukethe ulwazi oluyingqayizivele mayelana nokulandelana kwezikhathi kwangaphambilini, umnotho wezenhlalakahle, indawo yomlando kanye nokusetshenziswa kwayo, isimo sezulu kanye nobuchwepheshe bezinkuni. I-DCCD iyinqolobane yedijithali nomtapo wolwazi osebenzisanayo wedatha yendandatho yesihlahla. Okuqukethwe kuyo kuthuthukiswa ngocwaningo, phakathi kokunye: izindawo zemivubukulo (okuhlanganisa nezindawo ezindala), ukuphahlazeka kwemikhumbi, izakhiwo, ifenisha, imidwebo, izithombe eziqoshiwe nezinsimbi zomculo. I-DCCD isekelwe ku-Tree-Ring Data Standard (TRiDaS) futhi ivumela ukuguqulwa kwamanye amafomethi edatha asetshenziswa kabanzi. Iqukethe uchungechunge lokulinganisa indandatho yesihlahla yedijithali kanye nesilinganiso sezikhathi, kanye nemethadatha yakhona echazayo nechazayo. Ivumela abanikeli ukuthi balawule futhi baphathe ukufinyelela kudatha yabo.

​I-International Multiproxy Paleofire Database (IMPD) iyingobo yomlando yedatha yomlando womlilo ethathwe kuma-proxies emvelo njengezibazi zesihlahla namarekhodi wamalahle nentlenga. I-IMPD yasungulwa ngomhlahlandlela ovela ebhodini labaluleki ukuze inikeze inqolobane ehlala njalo yamarekhodi ekhwalithi ephezulu we-paleofire avela emhlabeni wonke. Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nedatha ye-paleofire, bona Isethulo sethu Sokwakha Kabusha Umlando Womlilo .

Siyiziphathimandla eziholayo zeSizwe (i-USA) ngedatha yezemvelo, futhi siphatha enye yezingobo zomlando ezinkulu kakhulu zocwaningo lomkhathi, olusogwini, lwe-geophysical, nolwandle emhlabeni. I-NCEI inikela kunjongo ye- NESDIS ngokwakha imikhiqizo emisha namasevisi ahlanganisa imikhakha yesayensi futhi anike amandla ukutholwa kwedatha okungcono. 

Le glossary eku-inthanethi ithathelwe ku-Multilingual Glossary of Dendrochronology (1995). Iqukethe incazelo nokuhunyushwa kwamagama angu-351 ezilimini ezingu-7: isiNgisi, isiJalimane, isiFulentshi, iSpanishi, isiNtaliyane, isiPutukezi nesiRashiya.

I-Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) iwuhlelo lwezinhlangano eziningi eziklanyelwe ukwenza imephu ngokungaguquguquki kobunzima bokusha kanye nemingcele yemililo kuwo wonke amazwe ase-United States kusukela ngo-1984 nangale kwalokho.

​Idatha ye-paleoclimatology ithathwe emithonjeni yemvelo efana nezindandatho zezihlahla, ama-ice cores, amakhorali, ama-stalagmites, ne-sediments yolwandle nechibi. Le datha yesimo sezulu engummeleli yelula ingobo yomlando yolwazi lwesimo sezulu nesimo sezulu ngamakhulu kuya ezigidini zeminyaka. Idatha ihlanganisa uchungechunge lwesikhathi lokulinganisa lwe-geophysical noma lwebhayoloji kanye nokunye okuguquguqukayo kwesimo sezulu okwakhiwe kabusha njengezinga lokushisa nemvula. Ososayensi basebenzisa idatha ye-paleoclimatology nolwazi ukuze baqonde ukuhlukahluka kwesimo sezulu semvelo kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu esizayo.

Siyakwamukela kuwebhusayithi ye-TRiDaS lapho ungathola khona ulwazi mayelana nomzamo womhlaba wonke womphakathi wokukhiqiza indinganiso yedatha yendawo yonke yedatha ye-dendrochronological. I- athikili echaza izinga yashicilelwa ku-Dendrochronologia futhi itholakala nge- Science Direct . Ungaphequlula futhi imibhalo ye-TRiDaS ukuze uthole okwengeziwe.

Sesha i- Forest Science Database ye-Dendrochronology (nezinye izindatshana zejenali ze-Forest Science), izahluko zezincwadi, amanqampunqampu wezobuchwepheshe, amaphepha enkomfa, nokuningi.

​I-OldList iyisizinda semininingwane yezihlahla zasendulo. Inhloso yawo iwukuhlonza ubude beminyaka yobudala lapho izinhlobo ezahlukene zezilwane ezindaweni ezihlukene ezingabuthola ukuze kuqashelwe abantu abadala. Ngaphezu kwalolu hlu lwasekuqaleni, u-Neil Pederson e-Harvard Forest kanye nozakwabo ku-Virginia Tech Tree Programme bagcina umngane I- Eastern OldList , egxile ezihlahleni ezindala ezikhula empumalanga ye-United States.

I-Eastern OLDLIST iyisizinda semininingwane 'se-franchise' ye- OLDLIST , isizindalwazi sezihlahla zakudala neminyaka yazo. Inhloso yalolu hlu ukuhlonza nokugqamisa ubudala bezinhlobo zezilwane ezisempumalanga yeNyakatho Melika. Lolu hlu luzoqukatha kuphela iminyaka yezihlahla eqinisekiswe kahle noma ebhalwe kahle (bona Ulwazi Lobuchwepheshe ngezansi ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe).

Siyakwamukela Kusizindalwazi Se-Gymnosperm, umthombo wewebhu oyinhloko wolwazi ngamaconifers nabalingani bawo. Kusukela sangena ku-inthanethi ngo-1997, Isizindalwazi sesidonse ukunaka emhlabeni wonke njengomthombo wolwazi ofinyeleleka kalula, onembe ngokwesayensi mayelana nokuhlukaniswa, incazelo, imvelo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwaleli qembu lezitshalo ezibalulekile ngokwamasiko nemvelo.

Le database yezinhlobo zezitshalo ezihambisana ne-dendrochonologically okwamanje iqukethe amagama ezinhlobo zezihlahla nezihlahla eziyi-1,166 lapho izindandatho zesihlahla zihlaziywe khona ezincwadini ezishicilelwe. Isizindalwazi sihlinzeka ngamakhodi e-ITRDB ezinhlobo zezihlahla.

Ulwazi olulandelayo lunikezwa uhlobo ngalunye noma uhlobo: Igama lesiLatini negunya, amagama avamile ngesiNgisi kanye/noma amagama endawo okungewona awaseYurophu. Okwe-approx. izinhlobo ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa ezinedatha yendandatho yesihlahla kanye nezikhathi ezitholakala ku-International Tree-Ring Data Bank ( ITRDB ), ulwazi olwengeziwe luhlanganisa:

  • I-Crossdating Index (CDI), lapho

    • U-"0" ukhombisa ukuthi uhlobo aluhlangani, noma alukho ulwazi lokunqamulana olutholakalayo

    • "1" ikhombisa uhlobo olwaziwa ngokunqamula phakathi naphakathi kwezihlahla (ukubaluleka okuncane ku-dendrochronology)

    • "2" ikhombisa uhlobo olwaziwa ukunqamula isifunda (okubaluleke kakhulu ku-dendrochronology).

*Sicela uqaphele ukuthi kusukela ngo-February 17, 2022 isizindalwazi besingakabuyekezwa kusukela ngo-2013.
