The occurrence of forest fires in the Muddus National Park (area, 50 000 ha), just north of the
Arctic Circle in northern Sweden, was investigated on 75 separate sample plots. Between …

Fire scars on living Scots pines (Pinus sylvestris L.) and pine stumps dated by dendro-
chronology were used as evidence for fire history, the chronology of which was established …

The history of forest fires in two areas in eastern Finland, Kitsi and Ahvenjärvi, both of about
150 ha, is studied by dendrochronological dating of fire scars. Forty-nine samples were …

Charcoal fragments preserved in small, wet basins are used to characterise the fire regime
of temperate and mixed boreal forest (hemiboreal) zones of southern Scandinavia during …

The relationshops of fire history to forest type and topography were examined on 75 sample
plots in Muddus National Park (50 000 ha; northern Sweden). A correlation matrix was …

I have used occurrence of macroscopic charcoal particles, pollen analyses and radiocarbon
datings to examine local forest fire abundance in southern and central Norway. Peat cores …

Dendrochronological dating of fire scars was used to determine the history of forest fires,
and the effects of the fires and of slash‐and‐burn cultivation on forest structure were studied …

Local fire history covering the entire Holocene period at a dry forest site in North Karelia,
eastern Finland (ca. 63° 07'N, 30° 44'E), was reconstructed on the basis of visible charcoal …

The long-term fire history of the spruce-dominated forests of the Ulvinsalo strict nature
reserve in Kuhmo, eastern Finland (63° 58′ N, 30° 22′ E), was studied by means of …

The presence of charcoal in the soil profile, derived from former forest fires, has long been
considered a fairly ubiquitous phenomenon in the boreal forests of northern Sweden. In …
