Data from: Higuera, P. E., L. B. Brubaker, P. M. Anderson, F. S. Hu, and T. A. Brown. 2009. Vegetation mediated the impacts of postglacial climate change on fire regimes in the south-central Brooks Range, Alaska. Ecological Monographs 79:201-219. For each site, Code (CO), Ruppert (RP), Wild Tussock (WK), and Xindi (XI), there are the six files: 1. xx_age_depth_data.txt – Depth (cm) and age (cal yr BP) from the published age-depth model. 2. xx_age_depth_fig.pdf – Figure of the age-depth model, ¼ of Fig. 2 in Higuera et al. (2009) 3. xx_charData.csv – Charcoal data in a CharAnalysis input file. Units are in the column headers: See https://sites.google.com/site/charanalysis/ for more details. 4. xx_charParams.csv – Parameter file CharAnalysis, with parameters as used in the original publication. See https://sites.google.com/site/charanalysis/ for more details. 5. xx_charResults.csv – CharAnalysis results file. Units are in the column headers: See https://sites.google.com/site/charanalysis/ for more details. 6. xx_pollen.xls – Pollen counts for each sample. The tab “pollen_counts” and “pollen_cm” contains raw the same data as in the tab “data” but in a raw format used for plotting. Ages associated with each pollen sample have to be obtained from the “xx_age_depth_data.txt” file, or from the appropriate column in the “charData” file in the “xx_char.xls” file. Radiocarbon dates from each site are in the file “Higuera_et_al_2009_Table_B1” in the folder titled “C14_dates” as published here: http://www.esapubs.org/archive/mono/M079/007/ CONTACT: Philip Higuera [e-mail] [e-mail] Key words: Arctic, boreal forest, climate change, pollen analysis, tundra, shrub tundra, paleoecology, Gates of the Arctic National Park Taxa: Alnus, Artemisia, Cyperaceae, Betula, Picea mariana, Picea glauca, Populus, Poaceae, Salix, Sphagnum, Pediastrum
