Fire and Climate History in the Central Yenisey Region, Siberia

摘要: Siberian forests are shaped by complex interactions of climate, forest fires, insect outbreaks, and humans. Unravelling the linkages mechanisms these will require long temporal large spatial-scale perspectives. A full account past input fires to global atmospheric composition (e.g., trace gases, aerosols, particulates), as well potential for future input, accurate area burned time series maps (Valendik 1990; Stocks 1991; Goldammer 1992; Dixon Krankina 1993). Unfortunately, complete reliable fire activity records available only one or two decades at best. Furthermore, data cover monitored areas, which less than half total in many remote regions Siberia 1990). Complete meteorological observations extending more a few into generally larger cities. Hence, we must turn “natural archives”, such lake deposits tree rings, reconstruct long-term historical changes trends climate disturbance processes Ivanova
