Human augmentation of historical red pine fire regimes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
Ecosphere, 2021 The Border Lakes Region of Minnesota and Ontario has long been viewed as a fire‐dependent ecosystem. High‐severity fire in the region's near‐boreal forests has been a focus of ecological research and public fascination.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Territorium: Revista Portuguesa de riscos, prevenção e segurança, 2018 Savannas cover approximately 20 % of the global land surface. In African savannas, fire is an important agent for controlling these ecosystems. Kruger National Park (KNP) is a large African savanna park which has implemented a variety of fire management ...

Have Historical Land Use/Land Cover Changes Triggered a Fire Regime Shift in Central Spain?
Fire, 2019 Fire is one of the main disturbance factors shaping the landscape, and landscape is a key driver of fire behavior. Considering the role played by land use and land cover (LULC) changes as the main driver of landscape dynamics, the aim of this study was ...
