We synthesize existing sedimentary charcoal records to reconstruct Holocene fire history at
regional, continental and global scales. The reconstructions are compared with the two …

The occurrence of large and recurring forest fires has long been associated with fire-prone
environments, but this perception has been shifted rapidly in recent decades as Earths' …

In the province of British Columbia, Canada, four of the most severe wildfire seasons of the
last century occurred in the past 7 years: 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2023. To investigate trends …

We examined direct and indirect impacts of millennial‐scale climate change on fire regimes
in the south‐central Brooks Range, Alaska, USA, using four lake sediment records and …

Fire is well recognized as a key Earth system process, but its causes and influences vary
greatly across spatial and temporal scales. The controls of fire are often portrayed as a set of …

Recent, high-resolution palaeoecological records are changing the traditional picture of post-
glacial vegetation succession in the Iberian Peninsula. In addition to the influence of …

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 …

The location, timing, spatial extent, and frequency of wildfires are changing rapidly in many
parts of the world, producing substantial impacts on ecosystems, people, and potentially …

Over the past several decades, high-resolution sediment–charcoal records have been
increasingly used to reconstruct local fire history. Data analysis methods usually involve a …

Extreme climatic events are key factors in initiating gradual or sudden changes in forest
ecosystems through the promotion of severe, tree‐killing disturbances such as fire …
