Donnegan Fire History Data from Badger Mountain, Colorado

646 calendar years of fire history data from 600 to -46 years before present, reconstructed from tree-ring records. This paleoclimatology dataset documents fire events in Colorado, United States, and is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. The data was published in 1996.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing fire event years from the tree-ring chronology for the Badger Mountain site.
• Analyzing the frequency of fire events over the 646-year period covered by the data.
• Correlating fire history parameters with other paleoclimate proxies for climate-fire relationship studies.

Strengths
