Variability in fire regime at the continental scale has primarily been attributed to climate
change, often overshadowing the widely potential impact of human activities. However …

The relative importance of climate change and human activities in influencing regional fire
regimes during the Holocene is still a matter of debate. The introduction of agriculture during …

The assumption that increased wildfire incidence in the Mediterranean Basin during the last
decades is an outcome of changes in land use warrants an objective analysis. In this study …

In this paper we present a review of the available Holocene pollen records from the Spanish
Central System (113 sites and 150 14 C dates). Palynological data obtained from pollen …

Worldwide, large wildfires are becoming increasingly common, leading to economic
damages and threatening ecosystems and human health. Under future climate change …

Fire regime changes are considered a major threat to future biodiversity in the
Mediterranean Basin. Such predictions remain uncertain, given that fire regime changes and …

An extension of the climate variability hypothesis is that relatively stable climate, such as that
of the tropics, induces distinct thermal bands across elevation that render dispersal over …

This paper focuses on high-resolution analysis of pollen and sedimentology and botanical
macro-remains analysis in a core from Lake Banyoles (Girona, Spain). The core sequence …

Fire is a key Earth system process, with 80% of annual fire activity taking place in grassland
areas. However, past fire regimes in grassland systems have been difficult to quantify due to …

Sedimentary charcoal records are widely used to reconstruct regional changes in fire
regimes through time in the geological past. Existing global compilations are not …
