| Abstract | Wildfires have become more intense and frequent globally, increasing risks to both natural and human environments. Africa has the highest incidence of fire on Earth today, yet further changes in patterns of fires, especially in places that historically have not burned, have led to complex hazards such as floods and destruction that make this region particularly vulnerable. Long-term information from the fossil record is necessary to understand and predict these changes, yet this data is currentl |
