Late Quaternary fire regimes of Australasia (Mooney 2011)

By admin November 16, 2011Analyses, GCD v3

We have compiled 223 sedimentary charcoal records from Australasia in order to examine the temporal and spatial variability of fire regimes during the Late Quaternary. While some of these records…

Fire in the earth system (Harrison 2010)

By admin November 16, 2010Analyses, GCD v2

Fire is an important component of the Earth System that is tightly coupled with climate, vegetation, biogeochemical cycles, and human activities. Observations of how fire regimes change on seasonal to…

Fire regimes during the Last Glacial (Daniau 2010)

By admin November 16, 2010Analyses, GCD v2

Sedimentary charcoal records document changes in fire regime.We have identified 67 sites (30 sites with better than millennial resolution) which have records for some part of the Last Glacial to…

Wildfire responses to abrupt climate change in North America (Marlon 2009)

By admin November 16, 2009Analyses, GCD v1

It is widely accepted, based on data from the last few decades and on model simulations, that anthropogenic climate change will cause increased fire activity. However, less attention has been…

Impact of a drier Early–Mid-Holocene climate upon Amazonian forests (Mayle and Power 2008)

By admin November 16, 2008Analyses, GCD v1

This paper uses a palaeoecological approach to examine the impact of drier climatic conditions of the Early–Mid-Holocene (ca 8000–4000 years ago) upon Amazonia's forests and their fire regimes. Palaeovegetation (pollen data)…

Changes in fire regimes since the Last Glacial Maximum: an assessment based on a global synthesis and analysis of charcoal data (Power et al. 2008)

By admin November 16, 2008Analyses, GCD v1

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…
