Pyrogenic carbon (PC; also known as biochar, charcoal, black carbon and soot) derived
from natural and anthropogenic burning plays a major, but poorly quantified, role in the …

Terraces and lynchets are ubiquitous worldwide and can provide increasingly important
Ecosystem Services (ESs), which may be able to mitigate aspects of climate change. They …

Few studies have investigated the effects of structural heterogeneity (particularly the
interactions of silicon and carbon) on the mechanisms for the recalcitrance of biochar. In this …

Radiocarbon dates form the basis of many archaeological chronologies that span the last
50,000 years. Since the first studies in the early 1950s the method has changed almost …

Aerosol black carbon (BC) is a short-lived climate pollutant. The poorly constrained
provenance of tropical marine aerosol BC hinders the mechanistic understanding of extreme …

Pyrogenic carbon (PC‐charcoal, biochar or black carbon) represents a poorly understood
component of the global carbon (C) cycle, but one that has considerable potential to mitigate …

Charcoal is a key component of the Black Carbon (BC) continuum, where BC is
characterized as a recalcitrant, fire-derived, polyaromatic material. Charcoal is an important …

Abstract The Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition (MP-UP transition) is considered a major
technological and cultural threshold, at the time when modern humans spread “out of Africa” …

Urban horticulture (UH) has been proposed as a solution to increase urban sustainability,
but the potential risks to human health due to potentially elevated soil heavy metals and …

RATIONALE Stable isotope analysis of archaeological charred plants has become a useful
tool for interpreting past agricultural practices and refining ancient dietary reconstruction …
