The Analysis of Charcoal in Peat and Organic Sediments [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2011
The abundance of charcoal in sediments has been interpreted as a ‘fire history’ at about 1,000 sites across the globe. This research effort reflects the importance of fire in many ecosystems, and the diversity of processes that can be affected by fire in many landscapes.

Changes in Wood Utilization Due to Iron Age Jade Mining in the Western Hexi Corridor: Wood Charcoal Investigations

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Charcoal remains from archeological sites are used not only to reconstruct the historical composition of local woodlands but also to examine the history of the human use of wood.

Holocene forest history of the Pöyrisjärvi area of the coniferous tree line in western Finnish Lapland: a pollen stratigraphical study [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1994
The evolution of the forests beyond the current coniferous tree line during the Holocene was studied by means of pollen analysis. Two closed-basin lakes, Jierstivaara and Isohattu, in western Finnish Lapland, were cored for the purpose.

WOOD AND CHARCOAL PRODUCTION IN THE KILN-FURNACE SYSTEM: HOW DO THE COSTS AND REVENUES VARIATION AFFECT ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY?

open access: yesRevista Árvore, 2021
Traditional methods of economic evaluation of wood and charcoal production projects are based on indicators analysis, however, they are subject to market variations and uncertainties. The study was carried out in the city of Lamim, Minas Gerais State, to

Influence of production variables and starting material on charcoal stable isotopic and molecular characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present a systematic study on the effect of starting species, gas composition, temperature, particle size and duration of heating upon the molecular and stable isotope composition of high density (mangrove) and low density (pine) wood.

Analysis of Charcoal from Quercus phillyraeoides [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Korean Wood Science and Technology, 2013
In this work, charcoal making characteristics of Quercus phyllyaeoides (which has been known as one of best raw materials for charcoals) was investigated. Charcoal from Quercus phyllyaeoides had more than 85% of fixed carbon, which is 5∼25% higher fixed carbon content than other charcoals. Also specific gravity of this charcoal was more than 1.0, which

Changes in fire regimes since the last glacial maximum: an assessment based on a global synthesis and analysis of charcoal data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Fire activity has varied globally and continuously since the last glacial maximum (LGM) in response to long-term changes in global climate and shorter-term regional changes in climate, vegetation, and human land use.

A 5,000-Year Fire History in the Strait of Georgia Lowlands, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Improved knowledge of long-term fire regimes and climate-fire-human relationships are important for effective management of forested ecosystems. In this study, we use two, high-resolution sedimentary-charcoal records to provide new, mid to late Holocene ...
