Fire History Reconstruction from Tree Rings in Northern New Mexico

Fire history data derived from tree ring parameters at the Redondo Border South plot in northern New Mexico. The temporal coverage spans from 377 to 103 calendar years before present. This archived study is provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire event frequency and timing using the tree-ring chronology spanning 274 years.
• Correlate fire history parameters with regional paleoclimate proxy records.
• Model historical fire return intervals for the specific geographic location of northern New Mexico.
• Reconstruct past fire regimes using the fire history data type specified in the study metadata.

Strengths

• Temporal coverage spans a specific 274-year period (377 to 103 BP).
• Data is archived and curated by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
• Study is explicitly categorized for the Fire data type, indicating focused parameter collection.

Limitations

• The exact number of data records, rows, and specific measured parameters is unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single plot (Redondo Border South plot 1) in northern New Mexico.
• Data represents a historical reconstruction with inherent dating uncertainties.
