Holocene Fire Dynamics in the Altai Mountains and Its Driving Factors
Abstract Fire activity reshapes the successions of forest and steppe ecosystems. However, the long‐term fire history and its driving factors in the Altai Mountains remain poorly documented and understood. In this study, we explore the Holocene fire history and its influencing factors, based on different sizes and morphologies of charcoals in a sediment
