Assessing the usage of flammability experiments and charcoal reflectance for interpreting the late Holocene record of fire
A review of planting principles to identify the right place for the right tree for ‘net zero plus’ woodlands
We outline the principles of the natural capital approach to decision making and apply these to the contemporary challenge of very significantly expanding woodlands as contribution to attaining net zero emissions of greenhouse gases. Drawing on the case of the UK, we argue that a single focus upon carbon storage alone is likely to overlook the other ‘net zero plus’ benefits which woodlands can deliver. A review of the literature considers the wid…
Tropical forest and peatland conservation in Indonesia
Tropical forests and peatlands provide important ecological, climate and socio‐economic benefits from the local to the global scale. However, these ecosystems and their associated benefits are threatened by anthropogenic activities, including agricultural conversion, timber harvesting, peatland drainage and associated fire. Here, we identify key challenges, and provide potential solutions and future directions to meet forest and peatland conserva…
Volumetric measurement of fossil charcoal
Quantifying sedimentary charcoal content by estimation of volume from two-dimensional images is a relatively new and little-used method, but has the potential to improve the accuracy of fire histories. It requires a power transformation of area data, and multiplication by a coefficient to account for particle shape. The latter step has been routinely overlooked, or considered unnecessary, with volume estimates made simply by power transformation …

Area–volume relationships for fossil charcoal and their relevance for fire history reconstruction
Sedimentary charcoal is a widely used tool for reconstructing past fire histories. These fossil charcoals are normally quantified as the number or area of particles present in a sediment sample, but it is not known how well either measure is correlated with their volume. Areal measurements are often treated as the true measure of quantity, which may introduce bias to fire histories. The relationship of measured area to volume is a function of sha…
