The production of pyrogenic carbon (PyC; a continuum of organic carbon (C) ranging from
partially charred biomass and charcoal to soot) is a widely acknowledged C sink, with the …

Fire is an important disturbance mechanism that can alter ecosystems and catalyze
vegetation changes. Paleofire records provide a means of inferring how ecosystems will be …

The study of fire history and driving mechanisms at long time scales can provide a
theoretical background for future fire management in forested regions. The alpine lake …

Although fire is considered an important factor in global vegetation evolution and climate
change, few high-resolution Miocene fire records have been obtained worldwide. Here, two …

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 …

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 …

Black carbon and charcoal's limitation in detecting low-temperature fires could be a major
obstacle in observing paleofire. To reconstruct a low-temperature fire pattern and vegetation …

Vegetation fires play an important role in global and regional carbon cycles. Due to climate
warming and land use shifts, fire patterns are changing and fire impacts increasing in many …

Sedimentary charcoal records provide useful perspectives on the long-term controls and
behavior of fire in the Earth System. However, a comprehensive understanding of the …

The analysis of charcoal fragments in peat and lake sediments is the most widely used
approach to reconstruct past biomass burning. With a few exceptions, this method typically …
