Twelve new fire histories were developed from dated fire scars on trees from regions where no fire scar history data had existed before in the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Sites represent highly variable climates from extreme cold (with long snow cover duration) to subtropical. All sites utilized oak or pine recorder species that were collected from closed forest to open savanna structures. Pre-industrial mean fire intervals ranged from 3 to more than 35 years at sites that typically encompassed less than 2 km2 in area. The most frequent fire regime was found in Louisiana‟s Kisatchie National Forest (MFI = 3 yrs) while the longest fire intervals were at inland sites near the shore of Lake Superior (MFI > 35 yrs) some 1900 kilometers to the north. The subtropical site in Louisiana is perhaps the only site in the U.S. where fires are documented to have occurred more than once a year. The history of fire at sites in Wisconsin, Louisiana, and Michigan showed distinct temporal progressions in changes in fire frequency that we attributed to changing human population. Sites in Wisconsin showed potential for very large fires associated with drought years. Fire history data analyses and summaries were presented at multiple venues (workshops, conferences) and have been published in scientific journals and reports to regional land managers. Fire history data has also been made publicly available through the International Multiproxy Paleofire Databank (IMPD). New fire history data from this project combined with previously collected fire history data from the Missouri Tree-Ring Laboratory and published fire histories in North America were used to parameterize and calibrate a continental fire frequency model based on climate. The most important contribution of this model is towards understanding climate forcing of fire regimes across the continental U.S. We have developed a suite of climate-based fire frequency models for the continental U.S. that show to be highly robust. Models and calibrations were validated with empirical fire history data during pre-industrial periods so to minimize non-climate influences associated with U.S. settlement (land conversion, changing cultures). Fire frequency models follow theoretical concepts from physical chemistry, utilize spatially-explicit fire and climate data, and were parameterized and validated using statistical methods. Data from fire history studies were accumulated from 37 states and include data based on fire scars (n = 168), expert estimates (n = 7) and charcoal (n = 3). Historic mean fire interval (MFI) models were parameterized using mean maximum temperature, precipitation, their interaction, and estimated population density (anthropogenic ignitions). Models are being used to: assess the role of climate in forcing fire frequency, map coarse-scale historic fire frequency for the continental U.S., and assess departures in fire regimes and smoke emissions.
