Records of past fire occurrence from tree rings, charcoal found in lake sediments, and other proxies. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set. Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations. Additional information on the International Multiproxy Database (IMPD) data set procedures are also available. STUDY NOTES: This site was sampled to reconstruct fire and establishment history across a dry to moist forest ecotone in central Oregon. Ring boundary fires were assigned to the preceding calendar year expect in four extensive fires where scars appeared in the dormant wood of one year and the ealywood of the following year (1679, 1740, 1777, 1840) White fir (Abies concolor) and grand fir (Abies grandis) hybridize in the sampling area and are difficult to identify in the field so we did not attempt to distinguish between these two species, but report them as a combined category Several metadata files are provided with the FHX file. -999 in any file indicates no data. Two supplemental files and tree establishment data are provided: https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/firehistory/establishment/northamerica/uswan001.dat provides tree establishment data, and information on all sampled trees. The sample_type field indicates what type of sample was taken (fire-history - a cross section taken to reconstruct surface fires, large tree establishment - a core or cross section taken for a tree >50 cm in diameter to reconstruct establishment and fire history if fire scars were present, medium tree establishment - a core or cross section taken for a tree 30-50 cm in diameter to reconstruct establishment and fire history if fire scars were present, proxy tree establishment - a core or cross section taken to represent a rotten tree that could not be sampled due to decay). https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/firehistory/firescar/northamerica/supplemental/uswan001-saplings.csv provides information on trees <30 cm that we tallied by species and diameter class (measured at breast height, 1.38m) in 7.28-m radius plots. Diameter classes: 7.5 (5-10 cm), 15 (10-20 cm), 25 (20-30 cm). https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/firehistory/firescar/northamerica/supplemental/uswan001-plot-data.csv provides location and descriptive information on the plots.
