Figure 6. Holocene-long dynamics of fire activity and environmental proxies.

Figure 6

Charcoal-based proxy of fire activity41 and chironomid-based temperature reconstruction37 represented conditions over northern Sweden. Sea-surface conditions are illustrated from SST reconstruction on the Vøring Plateau, Norwegian Sea core MD95201149, IRD occurrences in the northwest (core KN158-4GGC22) and northeast (core VM29-191) North Atlantic50, and sea ice cover estimates from the Labrador Sea core HU84-030-02151,52. See Table SI 1 for exact site locations. Charcoal reconstruction is an average of three lake sediment chronologies and chironomid reconstruction is an average of two reconstructions. Thick horizontal lines represent periods of similar mean conditions identified through regime shift detection method based on sequential t-tests58. 95% confidence envelop is shown for fire chronology. Yellow bars indicate periods with increased fire activity.
