Tree ring data from New Mexico provides a fire history record spanning 457 years, from 412 to -45 calendar years before present. The dataset was archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The study was published in 1995.
Use Cases
- Analyze fire event frequency over the 457-year period using the calendar years before present time series.
- Correlate fire history parameters with other paleoclimate proxies for the New Mexico region.
- Model long-term fire return intervals based on the tree-ring derived fire history data.
Strengths
- Time series covers a 457-year period (412 to -45 calendar years BP).
- Data is curated and archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, a authoritative source.
Limitations
- Data is stale, last updated in 1995.
- Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unknown.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single location in New Mexico.
