Spatiotemporal Synchrony of Climate and Fire Occurrence Across North American Forests (1750–1880) Aim Increasing aridity has driven widespread synchronous fire occurrence in recent decades across North America. The lack of historical (pre-1880) fire records limits our ability to understand long-...

Frontiers | Holocene wildfire and vegetation dynamics in Central Yakutia, Siberia, reconstructed from lake-sediment proxies Wildfires play an essential role in the ecology of boreal forests. In eastern Siberia, fire activity has been increasing in recent years, challenging the liv...

Reconstructing past wildfires and vegetation coverage furthermore led us to hypothesize that present-day, dense larch forests may still mediate the full extent of climate-driven fire regime intensification in this region. You can find our #paleofire study from #Siberia here:

First steps towards integrating the Global Paleofire Database with Neotoma | PAGES

Making #paleofire data #FAIR: Read our new report, published today in the new #PAGES Magazine, on integrating the Global Paleofire Database into the #Neotoma #Paleoecology Database! This step will have benefits for data curators and users, but a lot of work is still ahead 🔥🧪🌏
