In Pennsylvania, @forestservice / @usfs_nrs scientists & partners found tree-ring & fire-scar chronologies recovered from red pine trees extend back to 1370 & 1402; it is unique foundational ecological information on fire regimes of the Northeast. nrs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/64570
Figure 1 in a recent study shows regional published tree-ring and fire-scar-based fire history studies in relation to the current study.
