A dendroarchaeological tree-ring dataset of Abies alba Mill. from historic buildings in the French Pyrenees

Key message

This article presents ring width chronologies derived from samples extracted from historical timber buildings in the French central Pyrenees. Two chronologies for fir (Abies alba Mill.) were dated for two periods: 1446–1655 and 1679–1952 AD. These chronologies are suitable for dendroarchaeological and paleoenvironmental studies, or for reconstructing past climates.
