It is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing fire event dates and frequencies using tree-ring fire scar data.
• Analyzing the relationship between fire history parameters and regional climate proxies.
• Calibrating long-term fire regime models for the southwestern U.S. with a 412-year temporal record.

Strengths

• Covers a long temporal range of 412 years (452 to 40 BP).
• Geographically specific to the Pueblo Ridge East site in northern New Mexico.
• Archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Sample size and specific row/column counts are unknown.
• Data is temporally stale, representing the past and not recent conditions.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single site in New Mexico.
