Fire distinguishers: Refined interpretations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for paleo-applications

Fire distinguishers: Refined interpretations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for paleo-applications

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), produced via incomplete combustion of organics, convey signatures of vegetation burned in the geologic past. New and published burn experiments reveal how the quantity, distributions, and isotopic abundances of fire-derived PAHs were influenced by fuel types,...
