Microcharcoal

The term "microcharcoal" refers to small carbonised particles produced during vegetation fires ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

To explore this issue, analyses of microcharcoal preserved in two deep-sea cores located off Lisbon (MD95-2042) and Bordeaux ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

This implies that no significant time lag exists, at a resolution of centuries or millennia, between production and deposition of microcharcoal ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

The strong increase in microcharcoal concentration observed in marine cores from Southeast Asia has been used to argue in favour of an extensive use of fire at around 50 kyr cal BP by modern human colonisers to clear vegetation and facilitate hunting ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

This precludes a significant input of airborne microcharcoal in both cores ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

Analyses of microcharcoal preserved in two deep-sea cores located off Iberia and France were used to reconstruct changes in biomass burning between 70 and 10 kyr cal BP. ❋ PLoS ONE (2010)

N. pachyderma (s) left coiling, (c) the concentrations of microcharcoal surface area ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

Identification of microcharcoal is performed using an automated image analysis in transmitted light and following the criteria proposed by ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

To trace fire regime variability, we analyse microcharcoal preserved in these two deep-sea cores. ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

Rivers are at present the main sources of fine sediments (including microcharcoal and pollen) to the Bay of Biscay and the Iberian margin ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

Daniau A-L, Sánchez-Goñi MF, Duprat J (2009) Last glacial fire regime variability in western France inferred from microcharcoal preserved in core MD04-2845, Bay of Biscay. ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

Using CCsurf instead of the number of microcharcoal per gram prevents overrepresentation due to taphonomic processes The fire regime of a given environment is defined by the variables that influence species survival: fuel consumption and fire spread patterns, which determine the observed fire type ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al. (2010)

As total plant biomass in forest and heathland communities is generally higher than open ground formations Average surface area of microcharcoal concentration (Average CCsurf) of core MD95-2042 versus average biomass index (Average biomass index) for each Greenland Interstadial ❋ Anne-Laure Daniau Et Al.
