Biomass burning and resulting fire regimes are major drivers of vegetation changes and of
ecosystem dynamics. Understanding past fire dynamics and their relationship to these …

Although evidence for land vegetation comes from the Silurian, and maybe even earlier, the
first record of fossil charcoal (fusain) is from the late Devonian. For this period there are only …

Since geological times, vegetation fires have shaped Earth and produced charcoal, which is
accumulating in sediments and soils. Only recently the role of pyrogenic organic matter …

We suggest that the spread of angiosperms in the Cretaceous was facilitated by novel fire
regimes. Angiosperms were capable of high productivity and therefore accumulated …

The devastating effect on terrestrial plant communities of a bolide impact at the Cretaceous-
Tertiary boundary is shown in fossil pollen and spore assemblages by a diverse flora being …

For several hours following the Chicxulub impact, the entire Earth was bathed with intense
infrared radiation from ballistically reentering ejecta. The global heat pulse would have killed …

Plants have colonized and modified the world's surface for the past 400 million years. In this
book the authors demonstrate that an understanding of the role of vegetation in the …

The paper presents the results of an investigation into the stratigraphic distribution of
inertinite in humic coals, ranging from the Silurian to the Neogene periods. This range …

To better understand evolution of oil-prone sedimentary organic matter to petroleum and
expulsion from source rock, we evaluated organic petrographic features of Leonardian …

Lithostratigraphic and organic chemostratigraphic studies of fluvial/lacustrine sediments in
the Late Cretaceous Fort Crittenden Formation in south‐eastern Arizona USA, reveal …
