A dendropyrochronological study was conducted in pine-dominated forest in the Sierra de Manantlán Biosphere Reserve located in the Sierra Madre del Sur mountain range in Mexico. Tropical pines present several difficulties for tree-ring research including missing, false and diffuse rings. This paper discusses the methods that were used to analyze tree rings in order to reconstruct fire history based on the dating of fire scars sampled from tropical pines.
