Fire history data reconstructed from tree-ring analysis at Lake Duparquet Island in Quebec, Canada. The dataset covers a period from 129 to -35 calendar years before present. It was archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its Paleoclimatology program.
Use Cases
- Analyze fire frequency and return intervals using the calendar years before present (BP) time series.
- Correlate fire history parameters with other paleoclimate proxies for the same time period.
- Model historical fire regimes in Quebec using the reconstructed fire event data.
- Study the impact of past climate variability on fire activity through the tree-ring record.
Strengths
- Time series spans 164 calendar years, from 129 to -35 BP.
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- The dataset's last metadata update was in 1985, indicating potential staleness.
- Specific sample size, measured parameters, and data granularity are not provided in the description.
