333 calendar years of fire history data are reconstructed from tree-ring records in the Pajarito Mountains of New Mexico. The dataset, archived by NOAA's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology, provides parameters related to fire events and dendrochronology. This study was published in 1993.
Use Cases
- Analyze fire frequency and return intervals using the fire history chronology.
- Correlate fire event years from tree-ring records with regional climate proxy data.
- Model historical fire-climate relationships for the Pajarito Mountains region.
- Reconstruct past fire seasons based on dated fire scars in the tree-ring series.
Strengths
- Covers 333 calendar years before present, providing a multi-century record.
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1993.
- The specific sample size, column details, and file formats are unknown.
