Plant-insect interactions are among the most common biotic relationships, both in diversity
and abundance. The fossil record reflects these associations as damage traces on the …

Modern flammable ecosystems include tropical and subtropical savannas, steppe
grasslands, boreal forests, and temperate sclerophyll shrublands. Despite the apparent fiery …

Charcoal remains and bulk lignites collected from the late Pliocene Jinsuo Basin in Yunnan,
southwestern China, have been studied to reveal changes in the wildfire regime related to …

Analyses of bulk petrographic data indicate that during the Late Paleozoic wildfires were
more prevalent than at present. We propose that the development of fire systems through …

Wildfire has been implicated as a potential driver of deforestation and continental
biodiversity loss during the end-Permian extinction event (EPE;∼ 252 Ma). However, it …

Fire became a defining feature of the Earth's processes as soon as land plants evolved 420
million years ago and has played a major role in shaping the composition and physiognomy …

Abstract The Toploje Member chert is a Roadian to Wordian autochthonous–
parautochthonous silicified peat preserved within the Lambert Graben, East Antarctica. It …

The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) caused significant changes in the marine and
terrestrial realms because of global environmental deterioration caused by intensive …

Despite a continuous increase in fossil charcoal records from Late Palaeozoic deposits,
which are used as direct evidence for palaeo-wildfires, detailed studies on the charcoal …

Charcoal is commonly preserved in both natural and artificial sediments, and is intensively
used in paleontological, paleoenvironmental, and archaeological studies due to the …
