Summary
Abstract: From: A Brief Introduction to Fire History Reconstruction
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/impd/impd_data_intro.html

Fire history information is provided through two types of proxy data; tree-ring
based records and sediment based records. These data sources describe fire
regimes at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Tree-ring data provide
temporally precise, short-term reconstructions of fire ... View entire text
