Comments: This is one of 11 separate aspect polygon subsites that make up the larger 3,240 ha Nile Creek site. Each of the 11 subsites have been archived separately using the following filenames (with ".fhx" appended for the FHX2 data files and ".txt" appended for the accompanying documentation files): usnil001, usnil002, usnil003, usnil004, usnil005, usnil006, usnil007, usnil008, usnil009, usnil010, usnil011.

They are available in both PDF and PNG formats. The graphs consist of 2 parts, both of which show the X axis (time line) at the bottom with the earliest year of information on the left and the latest on the right. The Fire Index Plot is the topmost plot, and shows two variables: sample depth (the number of recording trees in each year) as a blue line along the left Y axis, compared with the percent trees scarred shown as gray bars along the right Y axis. Below, the Fire Chronology Plot consists of horizontal lines representing injuries by year on individual sampled trees. Symbols are overlain that denote the years containing the dendrochronologically-dated fire scars or injuries. The sample ID of each tree is displayed to the right of each line. The Composite Axis below represents the composite information from all individual series. The symbols used to represent the fire scars or injuries, and the filters used to determine the composite information, are shown in the legend. These graphs were created using the Fire History Analysis and Exploration System (FHAES). See http://frames.nbii.gov/fhaes/ for more information.
