...Therefore, has been a common perception that fire suppression decrease the rate of release of CO2 caused by burning and maximize C storage in ecosys tem pools (Tilman et al., 2000; Hurteau & Brooks, 2011)....

...Hardwood forests can be dominated by early and mid-successional species like oak and pine with a constant exposure to fire (Tilman et al., 2000; Black et al., 2006) Palynologic studies can be successfully used to reconstruct the vegetation history, including the external disturbances on flora in…...

...Extrapolation of Stalagmite δ13Ccalc δ13Ccalc records of the BCC-002 calcite stalagmites were reconstructed based on the assumption that stalagmite Sr/Ca ratios positively correlate with δ13Ccalc when drip water residence times and CO2 degassing rates depend on the local climate....

...Absence of vegetation can decrease the soil carbon dioxide partial pressure compared to the cave PCO2 and decrease or cease stalagmite growth (Baldini et al., 2008)....
