Fire history and paleolimnology data from sediment cores collected at Slack Lake in Michigan. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its Paleoclimatology program. The temporal coverage is measured in calendar years before present.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire frequency over time using sediment charcoal records.
• Correlate paleolimnological indicators with fire history events.
• Study regional fire-climate interactions in Michigan using the dated sediment layers.

Strengths

• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.
• Parameters include both fire history and paleolimnology indicators for integrated analysis.

Limitations
