Summary
Data were compiled on the seed production of white spruce in order to assess the long-term trends in seed production over the past 60 years in North American boreal forests. Data on cone production was merged with annual weather, teleconnection indices such as ENSO, and historical fires in boreal forests.

Data were collected in order to test the hypothesis that seed production was driven by similar climatic factors to known causes of forest fires in boreal regions.
