Paleoecology - contributing to resource management . : Fo133-2/2016-3E-PDF
“Terrestrial palaeoecology is the science of using plant remains preserved in sediment deposits to examine the origin, development and dynamics of vegetation communities through time. Given that plant distribution and abundance patterns are strongly influenced by climate, the records can also be used to examine changes in climate over time. Finally, by examining indicators of fire, such as charcoal fragments, it is also possible to evaluate how fire disturbance dynamics have changed in response to changes in climate and vegetation. In addition to impacting vegetation and soils, fire events can also affect aquatic systems. For example, post-fire watersheds may experience increased sediment loads and altered water chemistry, impacting water quality”--p. [1].
