Investigating the effect of oxidants on the quantification and characterization of charcoal in two southeast Australian sedimentary records

Constantine, Zhu, Cadd, Mooney
This study examined the effects of commonly used oxidants in sedimentary macroscopic charcoal analysis on two sediment cores from Thirlmere Lakes National Park, Southeast Australia. The cores, from Lake Werri Berri (WB3) and Lake Couridjah (LC2),…

Levoglucosan and its isomers in terrestrial sediment as a molecular markers provide direct evidence for the low-temperature fire during the mid-Holocene in the northern Shandong peninsula of China

Tan, Yuan, Gu, Han, Mao, Tan, Wu, Han
Black carbon and charcoal's limitation in detecting low-temperature fires could be a major obstacle in observing paleofire. To reconstruct a low-temperature fire pattern and vegetation changes in the Changyi in the northern Shandong Peninsula over…

Reconnecting fire culture of aboriginal communities with contemporary wildfire risk management

Atkinson, Montiel-Molina
This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the transition towards a new paradigm of wildfire risk management in Victoria that incorporates Aboriginal fire knowledge. We show the suitability of cultural burning in the transformed landscapes…

The contribution of Indigenous stewardship to an historical mixed-severity fire regime in British Columbia, Canada

Copes-Gerbitz, Daniels, Hagerman
Indigenous land stewardship and mixed-severity fire regimes both promote landscape heterogeneity, and the relationship between them is an emerging area of research. In our study, we reconstructed the historical fire regime of Ne Sextsine, a 5900-ha…
