From: Cambial Phenology Informs Tree-Ring Analysis of Fire Seasonality in Coastal Plain Pine Savannas
Classification systems for assigning seasonality to fire scars based on intra-annual ring position, including: A) the classic seasonality system, developed in the western USA (adapted from Caprio and Swetnam 1995); and B) our modified system, customized for longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), slash pine (P. elliottii), and South Florida slash pine (P. densa). In each panel, annual tree growth is from bottom to top. The growth ring used in our modified system is from a shallow micro-core of South Florida slash pine sampled in Harley et al. (2012).
