Fire occurrence in relation to bamboo dominance in the Qinling Mountains of China： Evidence from phytolith and charcoal records in Holocene sediments

he internal genetic clock of semelparous mast-flowering bamboo species creates gregarious regions of flowering and death, thus leading to fuel-load accumulation that potentially promotes fire（Fire-Cycle Hypothesis）. Higher abundance of bamboo could be expected to provide greater fuel loads after flo...
