Wild Basin Fire History from Tree Ring Data

331 to -49 calendar years before present (BP) of fire history data derived from tree ring analysis in Colorado, USA. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. It was last updated in the system in 1999.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire return intervals using the fire history chronology spanning 380 years.
• Correlate fire event years (fire_history parameter) with regional paleoclimate proxy records.
• Reconstruct historical fire regimes for the Wild Basin area in Colorado using the tree-ring parameter.

Strengths

• Covers a 380-year period from 331 to -49 calendar years BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage ends 49 years before 1950, with no recent data.
• Data specifics like sample depth, replication, or measurement methods are not provided in the basic description.
