Fire, fuel, and climate in the Great Basin from the Middle Holocene to present from the sediments of Blue Lake, NV
Continuous, high-resolution sedimentary records from the Great Basin are rare. By combining physical sedimentology with charcoal analysis to document changes in lake level and biomass burning, we explore the coevolution of climate and fire ecology over the past 7000 years. Elemental data from scanning X-ray fluoresce...
