Figure 2: Char and soot MARs in Linsley Pond sediments in comparison with regional and global climate parameters.

Figure 2

(A) Z-scores of combined and transformed charcoal data from North America36, an indicator of regional wildfires; (B) char MARs, indicating local smoldering fires; (C) soot MARs, indicating regional flaming fires; (D) carbonate δ18O profile from Crawford Lake in the Great Lakes region29, which is close to the Linsley Pond in this study, indicating the regional climate; (E) NGRIP δ18O24, an indicator of northern-hemisphere temperature. Shadowed area indicates the Younger Dryas (YD) interval between the Holocene and the Bolling-Allerod (BA). Errors bars show the estimated uncertainty at the 1-δ standard deviation level.
