Fire History Reconstruction From Pat Scott Peak Tree Rings

Arizona fire history data derived from tree ring analysis at Pat Scott Peak. The dataset covers 495 years, from 451 to -44 calendar years before present. It was archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information in 1994.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire event frequency and timing using the calendar years before present (BP) time series.
• Reconstruct regional fire history patterns for Arizona from the tree ring proxy data.
• Correlate fire history parameters with other paleoclimate records for the 495-year period.

Strengths

• Covers a 495-year time period from 451 to -44 BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1994.
• Specific parameters, sample size, and measurement methods are not detailed in the provided description.
