Abstract
It is fair to say that back in the 1970s when people in Europe started to build tree ring chronologies in a serious manner, they tended to think in local terms. A north German oak chronology would be different from a south German chronology, an Irish oak chronology would be different from one for England, and so on. This assumption about regional differences was largely based on everyone’s experience with local weather – if the weather is different the tree ring patterns will be different, we assumed. But now we know that the situation isn’t like that at all. There are many years when the vast majority of oak trees exhibit similar responses all the way from Ireland to Poland.
