Fire history parameters derived from tree ring analysis in British Columbia, Canada. The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) provides this paleoclimatology study, with temporal coverage from 350 to -16 calendar years before present.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct fire frequency and intensity using tree-ring derived fire history parameters.
- Analyze temporal patterns of fire events from 350 to -16 calendar years BP.
- Correlate fire history data with other paleoclimate proxies for the British Columbia region.
- Model historical fire-climate relationships using the dated fire event records.
Strengths
- Data spans 366 calendar years of fire history (350 to -16 BP).
- Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Temporal coverage ends 16 years before present (1966), lacking recent decades.
- Geographic scope is limited to the Lower Stein River Valley in British Columbia.
