Performance of Burn-Severity Metrics and Classification in Oak Woodlands and Grasslands
Remote Sensing, 2015 Burn severity metrics and classification have yet to be tested for many eastern U.S. deciduous vegetation types, but, if suitable, would be valuable for documenting and monitoring landscape-scale restoration projects that employ prescribed fire ...

A morphological analysis of Holocene charcoal particles from a peatland in southwest England [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2022 Peat deposits that preserve charcoal particles can provide valuable archives for reconstructing fire histories. Palaeofire studies using lake sediments often use morphometric data or morphotype classifications of charcoal particles, from which ...

Diversity, 2023 The aim of this study was to reconstruct the vegetation changes, fire history and local landscape dynamics of central Croatia (the western part of south-eastern Europe) from 9800 cal yr BP to the beginning of the Common Era.

Chemistry-Didactics-Ecology-Metrology, 2019 Abstract The history of fire is an important and fascinating topic, yet it is not covered in any school or university syllabus. In the present article, the author argues a case for its inclusion in chemistry teaching programs. He outlines some key points relating to investigations on the nature of combustion processes and the discovery ...

Ecosphere, 2016 We characterized historical fire regimes in Pinus palustris (longleaf pine) forests of southern Mississippi with regard to global and regional coupled climate systems (e.g., El Niño–Southern Oscillation) and past human activity.

Is Anthropogenic Pyrodiversity Invisible in Paleofire Records?
Fire, 2019 Paleofire studies frequently discount the impact of human activities in past fire regimes. Globally, we know that a common pattern of anthropogenic burning regimes is to burn many small patches at high frequency, thereby generating landscape ...

The Flood Last Time: ‘Muck’ and the uses of history in Kara Walker’s ‘Rumination’ on Katrina [PDF]
, 2010 Kara Walker describes her book After the Deluge (2007) as “rumination” on Hurricane Katrina structured in the form of a “visual essay.” The book combines Walker's own artwork and the works of other artists into “a narrative of fluid symbols” in which the

Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Every year, millions of hectares burn across Siberia, driven by a combination of warming temperatures, regional drought and human-caused ignitions. Dendrochronology provides a long-term context to evaluate recent trends in fire activity and interpret the

Soil methane sink capacity response to a long-term wildfire chronosequence in Northern Sweden [PDF]
, 2015 Boreal forests occupy nearly one fifth of the terrestrial land surface and are recognised as globally important regulators of carbon (C) cycling and greenhouse gas emissions.

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2014 Premise of the study: Charcoal particles preserved in sediments are used as indicators of paleowildfire. Most research focuses on abundance as an indicator of fire frequency, but charcoals also convey information about the vegetation from which they are ...
