Global biomass burning: a synthesis and review of Holocene paleofire records and their controls
We synthesize existing sedimentary charcoal records to reconstruct Holocene fire history at
regional, continental and global scales. The reconstructions are compared with the two …

Changes of forest cover and disturbance regimes in the mountain forests of the Alps
Natural disturbances, such as avalanches, snow breakage, insect outbreaks, windthrow or
fires shape mountain forests globally. However, in many regions over the past centuries …

Contributions of Quaternary botany to modern ecology and biogeography
HJB Birks - Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …
