TL;DR: This article synthesized sedimentary charcoal records of biomass burning since the last glacial maximum (LGM) and present global maps showing changes in fire activity for time slices during the past 21,000 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Sedimentary charcoal accumulation rates are used to construct long-term variations in fire during the past 3,000 y in the American West and compare this record to independent fire-history data from historical records and fire scars, which show a forest “fire deficit” attributable to the combined effects of human activities, ecological, and climate changes.

TL;DR: The authors used 35 charcoal and pollen records to assess how fire regimes in North America changed during the last glacial-interglacial transition (15 to 10 ka), a time of large and rapid climate changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article analyzed sedimentary charcoal records to show that the changes in fire regime over the past 21,000 yrs are predictable from changes in regional climates and showed that fire increases monotonically with changes in temperature and peaks at intermediate moisture levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest fire and climate change in western North America: insights from sediment charcoal records
Daniel G. Gavin,Douglas J. Hallett,Feng Sheng Hu,Kenneth P. Lertzman,Susan J. Prichard,K. J. Brown,K. J. Brown,Jason A. Lynch,Patrick J. Bartlein,David L. Peterson +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight several records from western North America and their relevance in reconstructing historical forest dynamics, fire-climate relationships, and feedbacks between vegetation and fire under climate change.
