Abstract:
Fire scar histories are a critical fire data source because they form a foundation for defining fire regimes. This data package contains crossdated tree-ring measurements used to date fire scars for Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky from 1689 to 2005. These data are part of a larger project to archive fire history data in the southern and eastern United States.
