Abstract

Fossil evidence for wildfires, in form of fossil charcoal, is known from a large number of Cretaceous localities worldwide and it has repeatedly been argued that wildfires were connected to the evolution and radiation of angiosperms during this period. The present study provides new evidence (in form of macro-charcoal) for the occurrence of wildfires during deposition of the Lower Cretaceous (pre-Aptian) Malha Formation at Wadi Budra of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Despite growing evidence for the worldwide occurrence of wildfires during the Cretaceous, the available database for pre-Aptian wildfires is still rather scarce for large regions when seen on a global scale, hampering causal interpretations concerning the interactions between fire ecology and the evolution of ecosystems during these stages.

白垩纪野火的进一步证据:埃及西奈半岛中西部Wadi Budra Malha组的大量木炭
野火的化石证据,以化石木炭的形式,在世界范围内的大量白垩纪地区都是已知的,并且一再有人认为野火与这一时期被子植物的进化和辐射有关。本研究为埃及西奈半岛Wadi Budra下白垩世(前aptian) Malha组沉积时期野火的发生提供了新的证据(以宏观木炭的形式)。尽管有越来越多的证据表明白垩纪期间全球范围内发生了野火,但在全球范围内,关于前阿普tian野火的可用数据库仍然相当缺乏,这阻碍了对这些阶段火灾生态学与生态系统进化之间相互作用的因果解释。

期刊介绍: The South African Journal of Geology publishes scientific papers, notes, stratigraphic descriptions and discussions in the broadly defined fields of geoscience that are related directly or indirectly to the geology of Africa. Contributions relevant to former supercontinental entities such as Gondwana and Rodinia are also welcome as are topical studies on any geoscience-related discipline. Review papers are welcome as long as they represent original, new syntheses. Special issues are also encouraged but terms for these must be negotiated with the Editors.
