Recent fire regime in the southern boreal forests of western Siberia is unprecedented in the last five millennia
Wildfires in Siberia are documented to have increased in frequency and severity over recent
decades. However, in the absence of long-term records, it is unclear how far and why this …

Recent climate change has driven divergent hydrological shifts in high-latitude peatlands
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including
permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century …

Widespread drying of European peatlands in recent centuries
Climate warming and human impacts are thought to be causing peatlands to dry, potentially
converting them from sinks to sources of carbon. However, it is unclear whether the …

Holocene wildfire regimes in western Siberia: interaction between peatland moisture conditions and the composition of plant functional types
Wildfire is the most common disturbance type in boreal forests and can trigger significant
changes in forest composition. Waterlogging in peatlands determines the degree of tree …
