Another tree-ring researcher here! Glad to see colleages over there. Where/what is the ecosystem or biome and region in which you found the highest fire recurrence??

The longleaf pine ecosystem, for sure! In North America, it is known to have the highest natural fire frequency. This is supported by the fire-scar record along with other lines of evidence like its high lightning activity and flammable vegetation type. Ponderosa pine also comes to mind, although fires in that ecosystem type weren’t quite as frequent and varied a lot with elevation.
