GrangardePISY

GrangardePISY, a collection of Pinus sylvestris samples from Grangärde parish is southern Dalarna 60°15′N 14°58′E AD 1366-2006 (samples from at least 4 trees: 1412-2006), by Torbjörn Axelson. The altitudes are from 150 m (Lake Väsman) and mainly about 200 m, but some smaller areas are also above 300 m and even a few around 400 m. The samples are from various sites, both from living trees and several buildings in the area. Some of the living trees have had their roots in contact with lakes (Samples with identities starting with Mal... are from lake Malingarna and those with Korss... from lake Björken). The chronology is rather weak for the period 1628-1769 (samples from only 6-9 trees).

This chronology is also used in combinations with other chronologies: BjörboGr (swed305+GrangardePISY) and SödraDal (consisting of most available samples from southern Dalarna).
