405 calendar years of fire history data, from 360 to -45 years before present, are recorded in this paleoclimatology study. The dataset includes parameters related to fire history derived from tree ring analysis. It was archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information and made available in 1995.
Use Cases
- Analyzing fire frequency over 405 years using the calendar years before present (BP) time series.
- Correlating fire history parameters with regional climate proxies from tree ring data.
- Modeling historical fire return intervals in New Mexico based on the fire history metrics.
- Studying the impact of climatic events on fire occurrence using the paleoclimatological time-series.
Strengths
- Time period coverage spans 405 calendar years.
- Data originates from NOAA NCEI, an authoritative environmental data center.
Limitations
- The dataset's last update was in 1995, indicating potential staleness.
- Specific column names, row counts, and data formats are unknown.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single location in New Mexico.
