Climate is an important control on biomass burning, but the sensitivity of fire to changes in
temperature and moisture balance has not been quantified. We analyze sedimentary …

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 …

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

Anthropogenically driven declines in tropical savannah burnt area, have recently received
attention due to their effect on trends in global burnt area,. Large-scale trends in ecosystems …

Millennial‐scale records of forest fire provide important baseline information for ecosystem
management, especially in regions with too few recent fires to describe the historical range …

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

It is widely accepted, based on data from the last few decades and on model simulations,
that anthropogenic climate change will cause increased fire activity. However, less attention …

Fire is an integral component of the Earth system that will critically affect how terrestrial
carbon budgets and living systems respond to climate change. Paleo and observational …

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 …

Natural ecosystems have developed within ranges of conditions that can serve as
references for setting conservation targets or assessing the current ecological integrity of …
