Abstract/Summary
Fire scars indicating low- to moderate-intensity fires on peat deposits have been sampled from subfossil Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) at sites in England, Wales and south-west Ireland. Analysis of ring-width responses to one fire event in 2800 BC illustrates its rejuvenating effect on Pinus sylvestris woodland, supporting a growing body of modern and palaeoecological data that illustrates the regenerative role played by fire in persistence of Pinus sylvestris woodland.
