Two thousand years of boreal biomass burning recorded in the Neem ice cores

New data from Greenland ice cores reveal a major peak in boreal biomass burning during the 1600s AD, presumably related to major regional droughts in Central Asia. This climate-related peak in fire activity is greater even than postindustrial biomass burning.
