Table 1 Parameters of fire histories in subtropical dry forest of Puerto Rico, USA. Charcoal was sampled in December 2015 in the northeastern subtropical dry forest, and in December 2014 in the southeastern subtropical dry forest. The radiocarbon ages of 20 charcoal samples from the northeastern subtropical dry forest were determined by AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) at the Earth System Science Department, University of California, Irvine; and the radiocarbon ages of 58 charcoal samples from the southeastern subtropical dry forest were determined by AMS at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab
