We synthesize existing sedimentary charcoal records to reconstruct Holocene fire history at
regional, continental and global scales. The reconstructions are compared with the two …

The location, timing, spatial extent, and frequency of wildfires are changing rapidly in many
parts of the world, producing substantial impacts on ecosystems, people, and potentially …

Progresses in reconstructing Earth's history of biomass burning has motivated the
development of a modern charcoal dataset covering the last decades through a community …

Large, well-documented wildfires have recently generated worldwide attention, and raised
concerns about the impacts of humans and climate change on wildfire regimes. However …

Version 1 of the Global Charcoal Database is now available for regional fire history
reconstructions, data exploration, hypothesis testing, and evaluation of coupled climate …

Wildfires are an integral part of most terrestrial ecosystems. Paleofire records composed of
charcoal, soot, and other combustion products deposited in lake and marine sediments …

Fire activity has varied globally and continuously since the last glacial maximum (LGM) in
response to long-term changes in global climate and shorter-term regional changes in …

Climate, vegetation and humans act on biomass burning at different spatial and temporal
scales. In this study, we used a dense network of sedimentary charcoal records from eastern …

Fire regimes have changed during the Holocene due to changes in climate, vegetation, and
in human practices. Here, we hypothesise that changes in fire regime may have affected the …

Understanding the causes and consequences of wildfires in forests of the western United
States requires integrated information about fire, climate changes, and human activity on …
