501 to -46 calendar years BP of fire history data from the Nile Creek Aspect Polygon 2 site in Washington, USA. This paleoclimatology dataset contains parameters related to fire history and tree rings, archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. The study was last updated in 1996.
Use Cases
- Reconstructing fire event chronology using tree-ring fire scar data.
- Analyzing the relationship between fire frequency and climate cycles over a ~550-year period.
- Calibrating regional fire history models with site-specific fire history parameters.
Strengths
- Covers a specific 547-year period (501 to -46 BP) for long-term analysis.
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last update in 1996.
- Geographic scope is limited to a single polygon site in Washington state.
- Specific sample size, row count, and column details are unknown.
