Morino Fire History from Upper Filmore West Tree Rings

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives fire history data derived from tree ring analysis in New Mexico. The dataset covers a time period from 638 to -43 calendar years before present (BP). It is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and was last updated in 1993.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire frequency and return intervals over a 681-year period using the calendar years BP data.
• Correlate fire history events from tree ring parameters with regional paleoclimate reconstructions.
• Study long-term ecological impacts of fire in the New Mexico region using the fire history time series.

Strengths

• Covers a 681-year time period (638 to -43 BP).
• Data is archived and curated by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1993.
• Specific row count, column names, and sample sizes are unknown.
