A 507-year fire history reconstruction from 460 to -47 calendar years before present, derived from tree-ring data. The dataset contains parameters related to fire history and was archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. It was last updated in 1997.
Use Cases
- Analyze fire frequency and return intervals using the fire history parameters over the 507-year period.
- Correlate fire history events from the tree-ring data with other paleoclimate proxy records.
- Model historical fire-climate relationships for the specific geographic location of Colorado.
Strengths
- Covers a 507-year temporal range from 460 to -47 calendar years BP.
- Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1997.
- Specific sample size, row count, and column details are unknown.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single location in Colorado, USA.
