An open-source database of historical wildfires in the Fontainebleau Forest
Résumé
Wildfires are one of the main disturbances to vegetation dynamics and the carbon cycle in forest and grassland ecosystems. Wildfires modify the quantity and quality of carbon inputs to the litter and soil. Precise localisation and date of past fires are very useful data in fire studies but historical wildfire archives do not exist for most forests. This lack of data limits our understanding of long-term impacts of wildfires on plant communities and the forest carbon cycle.
