Sherriff Fire History from Loch Lomond Tree Rings (670 - -49 BP)

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives fire history data derived from tree-ring analysis at the Loch Lomond site in Colorado, USA. The dataset covers a time period from 670 to -49 calendar years before present (BP). This study is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing historical fire frequency and severity using tree-ring fire scar parameters.
• Analyzing the correlation between fire history parameters and regional paleoclimate indicators over a 719-year period.
• Calibrating fire regime models for Colorado using the dated fire event data from the Loch Lomond site.

Strengths

• Covers a long temporal range of 719 calendar years (670 to -49 BP).
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Limitations

• Dataset metadata indicates a last update in 1999, suggesting potential staleness and lack of recent curation.
• Specific sample size (row count), column details, and measurement parameters are not provided in the available description.
