Check the representativeness of Tamarack Creek in Western WI and Cottonwood lake in southwestern MN.
Tamarack Creek (neotoma id 2624)
Tamarack proportions reach ~30% and stay high for the last 500 years. In the calibration model, we set tamarack counts to zero at this site because it is a local anomaly. I suggest we do the same for the prediction model, since we have already argued that this does not represent the surrounding region.
Cottonwood Lake
This site has two cores that we fit Bacon models to. For one the age estimates are too recent to be included in our prediction model. The other includes two samples that fall within our prediction time domain (50-2050 ybp). Both sites are high in other hardwood. I checked the counts, and both are quite abundant in Salix. The site that is used in the prediction model (neotoma ID = 515) additionally has Juniperus and Alnus, both of which get lumped into Other Hardwood. We should discuss what we want to do here.
