, 2005
At some point in time, man has influenced nearly all forests in Western Europe. Most of the original forest cover has been converted to arable land and pastures, or has been cut for the supply of firewood and construction timber.

How tightly linked are Pericopsis elata (Fabaceae) patches to anthropogenic disturbances in Southeastern Cameroon? [PDF]

, 2015
While most past studies have emphasized the relationships between specific forest stands and edaphic factors, recent observations in Central African moist forests suggested that an increase of slash-and-burn agriculture since 3000–2000 BP (Before Present)

Archaeological experiments in fire-setting : protocol, fuel and anthracological approach

, 2006
From 1997 fire-setting experiments have been undertaken each winter in the Fournel silver mines at L'Argentière-la-Bessée (Hautes-Alpes, France). The objective is to work through this "process" to rediscover technical know-how, evaluate the combined role of the fire's intrinsic (fuel) and exterior (ventilation, pyre architecture) factors, and potential

Anthracology: past disturbances and vegetation evolution

, 2012
One of CoForChange aims is to highlight the relationship between human settlement and plant distribution. Recent studies show that anthropogenic disturbances have had an impact on vegetation, including enabling the expansion of light-demanding species (see Newsl. No 4).

The vegetation of the Roman province of Pannonia based on wood charcoal, pollen, anthracological and carpological studies (1st–5th century AD)

Dissertationes Archaeologicae: Ex Instituto Archaeologico Universitatis de Rolando Eötvös Nominatae
The Roman Empire ruled Pannonia—largely corresponding to today’s Transdanubia in Hungary—for nearly 500 years. This study reconstructs Roman-era vegetation and land use around Lake Balaton using pollen analysis, carpology, and anthracology. Pollen-based
