Past fire regimes in the central European lowlands from multiple sedimentary fire proxies

Aula Delta 2B - Campus Scientifico

Speaker: Dr. Elisabeth Dietze, GFZ Potsdam (Germania)
 

Abstract:
Although the central European lowlands are a landscape of low modern flammability, future projections suggest much drier conditions that could also increase fire risk. Here, we assess the role of humans and land cover change in determining fire regimes during the last 250 years and the Holocene by using multiple fire proxies in high-resolution at a northern Polish lake and microcharcoal data from northern Germany towards the Baltic countries, respectively.
