Fire History Reconstruction from Rose Canyon East Tree Rings

NOAA/NCEI paleoclimatology data reconstructs fire history for Arizona, USA, from tree-ring parameters. The time series coverage spans from 550 to -46 calendar years before present (BP). This archived fire study was published by the NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire frequency and return intervals using the tree-ring chronology spanning nearly 600 years.
• Correlate fire history parameters with regional paleoclimate proxies to study climate-fire relationships.
• Calibrate and validate fire regime simulation models for the Arizona region using the reconstructed timeline.

Strengths

• Time series covers approximately 596 calendar years of reconstructed history.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• Data record ends at -46 BP, making the most recent events over 2,000 years old and not reflective of modern conditions.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and data granularity are unknown from the provided metadata.
