Lake Duparquet Island Fire History from Tree Rings

NOAA paleoclimatology data contains fire history parameters derived from tree rings at Lake Duparquet Island in Quebec, Canada. The time coverage spans from 117 to -34 calendar years before present. This archived study is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire frequency and timing using the calendar years before present (BP) parameter.
• Reconstruct regional fire history patterns for Quebec using the fire history parameter.
• Correlate fire events with other paleoclimate proxies using the tree-ring derived data.
• Model long-term ecological disturbance cycles using the dated fire history sequence.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 151-year period (117 to -34 BP).
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Dataset is temporally stale, last updated in 1984.
• Specific row count, column names, and sample size are unknown.
