Lake Duparquet Fire History from Tree Ring Analysis

111 to -34 calendar years before present (BP) of fire history data derived from tree ring analysis at Lake Duparquet Island in Quebec, Canada. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated study type is Fire.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct fire event years and frequency from tree ring fire scar data.
• Analyze long-term climate-fire relationships using the dated fire chronology.
• Calibrate regional fire history models for Quebec using the site-specific record.

Strengths

• Covers a 145-year period from 111 to -34 calendar years BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is relatively short for paleoclimate studies.
• Data is geographically limited to a single island site in Quebec.
