Optimal fire histories for biodiversity conservation [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2014 Abstract Fire is used as a management tool for biodiversity conservation worldwide. A common objective is to avoid population extinctions due to inappropriate fire regimes. However, in many ecosystems, it is unclear what mix of fire histories will achieve this goal. We determined the optimal fire history of a given area for biological

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 ...

Fire history reconstruction in grassland ecosystems: amount of charcoal reflects local area burned
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 Fire is one of the most prevalent disturbances in the Earth system, and its past characteristics can be reconstructed using charcoal particles preserved in depositional environments.
