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.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for predicting properties of a target object by combining multivariate statistical analysis and principal component analysis in combination with content-based image retrieval for providing two-dimensional attributes of three dimensional objects, for example, via preferential image segmentation using a tree of shapes.

TL;DR: Charcoal fragments in soils and sediments document Holocene fires in the rain forests of the La Selva Biological Station in the northern Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica and in the paramo surrounding Cerro Chirrip6 in the Cordillera de Talamanca, suggesting that the rain forest and paramo fires occurred at similar times.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed pollen and charcoal in a lake-sediment core from Laguna Zoncho, a small mid-elevation lake in southernmost Costa Rica.
