Fire History Reconstruction from Camp May North Tree Rings

267 calendar years of fire history data are reconstructed from tree-ring parameters at the Camp May North site in New Mexico. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. This study was last updated in 1993.

Use Cases

• Analyze fire event frequency and timing from the tree-ring fire history parameter over a 267-year period.
• Correlate fire history patterns with other paleoclimate proxies using the calendar years before present (BP) time scale.
• Model historical fire-climate relationships for the New Mexico geographic location specified in the metadata.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 267-year time period from 267 to -43 calendar years BP.
• Provides a geographically precise record for a site in New Mexico, United States.

Limitations

• Data recency is low, with a last update in 1993, limiting modern analytical integration.
• The exact sample size, parameters, and data structure are not specified in the provided description.
