| Abstract | Fire is an Earth system process with both vegetation and atmospheric feedbacks. Grass-fueled fires in savannas currently dominate global burned area, but grazers potentially eat enough grass to suppress fires at the landscape scale. How these processes affect global biogeochemical cycles is not quantitatively understood. This project combines present-day experiments and observations with paleoecological observations on the timescale of thousands of years. The project tests predictions about the |
