Sentence examples for reconstructing fire from inspiring English sources
Grasslands are regions with no trees where shrubs can provide dendroecological evidence for reconstructing fire history at landscape scale.
In this paper we describe the present status of the fire-regime concept, discuss the notion of the fire continuum and related proxies, and review the most important existing approaches for reconstructing fire history at centennial to millennial scales.
For a recent paper in the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography, published with Mark Williams, Dr. Baker employed an unorthodox method to reconstruct fire history that challenges current analysis of tree rings.
First, unless piñons and junipers record fire by means of fire scars, it will be difficult to reconstruct fire history.
At each study site we collected cross-sections from dead fire-scarred trees to reconstruct fire history and established study plots to characterize forest structure.
We studied the dendroecological potential of the shrub Fabiana imbricata to reconstruct fire history at landscape scale in MTC grasslands of northwestern Patagonia.
Such simulation method may reproduce the fire scene, reconstruct fire processes, explain fire development and demonstrate smoke movement through describing the configuration of fuel, effects of ventilation, design of the building, the impact of manual or automatic systems and fire source.
Further analyses of charcoal series should therefore attempt to reconstruct fire severity or fire size [36].
We reconstructed fire and vegetation history from macroscopic charcoal and palynological data preserved in sediments from four lakes in the southcentral Brooks Range (Fig. 1B).
To reconstruct fire history, the surface areas of sedimentary charcoal were tallied continuously at high resolution (every centimeter) and the Charcoal Accumulation Rate (CHAR mm2.cm−2.yr−1) was time-analyzed to reconstruct the stand-to-local fire history of the two lakes.
Thus, it is limited by the availability of fire history studies and would benefit from increased efforts to reconstruct fire history for larger geographic areas.
