[{"name":"schenk-2018-temperature-1","title":"Late-glacial European summer temperature reconstruction","summary":"The dataset provides a compilation of quantitative European summer temperature reconstructions for the late-glacial periods of the B\u00f8lling-Aller\u00f8d interstadial (~14.3 to 13 ka BP) and Younger Dryas stadial (~12.8 to 11.7 ka BP). July temperature reconstructions are based on multi-proxy biological data from 122 European lake sediment records. Temperature proxies consist mainly of chironomids and plant macrofossils.","citations":"Schenk F, V\u00e4liranta M, Muschitiello F, Tarasov L, Heikkil\u00e4 M, Bj\u00f6rck S, Brandefelt J, Johannson A, N\u00e4slund J-O, Wohlfarth B (2018) Warm summers during the Younger Dryas cold reversal.

The July temperature quantification based on plant macrofossils (incl. some aquatic microfossils) are based on a common northern distribution limit of climate indicator plant species as described in Schenk et al. (2018). References to the original publications of each site are provided within the dataset.","category":"Atmosphere","subcategory":"Temperature","keywords":"Summer temperature; Deglaciation; Pleistocene; Younger Dryas; Plant macrofossils; Chironomids","scientist":"Frederik Schenk, Minna V\u00e4liranta, Francesco Muschitiello, Lev Tarasov, Maija Heikkil\u00e4, Svante Bj\u00f6rck, Jenny Brandefelt, Arne V.
