Research Abstract

Charcoal accumulation was elucidated by comparing recent fire events with sedimentary charcoal records from small basins in the Eda-jima Island, Hiroshima Bay, southwestern Japan. Accumulation patterns of macroscopic charcoal were affected mainly by the size and proximity of fires. Macroscopic charcoal provides information about local, extralocal fire events, as predicted by previous studies of charcoal transport and accumulation
