Abstract

Although fire is widely recognised a valued land-use toll at least since the Middle Palaeolithic Age (Behre, 1988; Caldararo, 2002; Daniau et al., 2010; Roebroeks and Villa, 2010), recent simulations based on sedimentary charcoal records suggest that until the pre-Industrial era global fire dynamics were mainly controlled by climate factors, shifting to an anthropogenic-driven regime only during the late 18th - early 19th centuries (Marlon et al., 2008; Pechony and Shindell, 2010).
