Table 6 Intra-ring position of DRY plot fire scars in cool years (temperature < 0) and warm years (temperature > 0) for the period 1700 to 1850 and the period 1851 to 1900. Temperature was normalized with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 for the analysis period (1700 to 1900). Values shown are percent of total fire scars for each period (number of scars) in each intra-ring position.
