This data release is tree-ring data near Columbine Lake and surrounding region, Grand County, Colorado (Latitude 40.27˚ N, Longitude -105.83˚ E NAD83). Re-collection of four existing tree-ring sites (Hot Sulphur Springs Psuedotsuga menziessii (HSU), Lexan Creek Picea engelmannii (LCU), Monarch Lake Pinus ponderosa (MLU), and Vasquez Mountain Psuedotsuga menziessii (VMU)) was conducted to update data to the most recent years possible and to maximize data overlap with instrumental records and with historical records of fire occurrence. At the time of collection, initial climate-growth relationships were assessed in a network of previously collected tree-ring sites (collected between 1987 and 2003) to determine which...

Andrews Meadow in the Loch Vale watershed, Rocky Mountain National Park. Sample Collection: Englemann spruce (Picea engelmannii) living on slopes surrounding and at the edge of Andrews meadow (Latitude 40˚ 17’ 24” N, Longitude 105˚ 40’ 01” W NAD83). At the time of collection, the climate-sensitive upland P. engelmannii trees were growing on well-drained slopes above the meadow. Seventeen trees, two cores per tree when possible, were collected using a 5mm-diameter increment borer. During sample collection, diameter at breast height (DBH) was also measured. These cores were processed following standard dendrochronological methods. The annual (TW) and earlywood (EW) ring-widths of each core were measured to 0.001mm...

Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Colorado. Sample Collection: Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Bristlecone pine (Pinus aristate), and Limber pine (Pinus flexilis) living in lower and upper montane slopes of the Culebra Range (~Latitude 37˚N, ~Longitude -105˚W WGS84). The Fire-Climate-Human NGGDPP archive collection was obtained in two separate field campaigns. 1) CSU/USFS-led Bar-NI Fire History (Huckaby and Fornwalt, 2001). Sixty-six fire scar cross-sections were collected using a hand saw or chain saw from living, standing dead, and remnant wood at Bar-NI Ranch (37.15°N, -105.02°W). 2) USGS-led fire history (Brice and Kehrwald, 2023). Twenty-two fire scar cross-sections...

Dendrochronological collections during the career of USGS emeritus, Paul Carrara: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), Spruce (Picea), Shore pine (Pinus contorta contorta), Willow (Salix), Bristlecone pine (Pinus aristate), Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii), Aspen (Populus tremuloides), and Limber pine (Pinus flexilis) collections from western North America. The Carrara NGGDPP archive collection is comprised of fifty-two cross-sections obtains for studies of glacial, avalanche, and vegetative histories from Alaska, Montana, and Colorado. Samples were processed following standard dendrochronological methods, including sample surface preparation and annual ring assignment....
