抄録

In this study, Lake Biwa sediment covering the last 130ka is examined by analysis of the abundance of microscopic charcoal. Based on the abundance variation, the last 130ka is divided into four periods: 130ka to 10ka, 10ka to 1.5ka, 1.5ka to A. D. 1920, and since 1920. Charcoal abundance was low between about 130ka and 10ka, which indicates that climatic variation has not greatly influenced the frequency of forest fires. Charcoal abundance increased markedly from 10ka, and the highest abundance of charcoal between about 10ka and 1.5ka was associated with the ancient human activities after the Jomon period. The reduction of charcoal abundance since about 1.5ka was probably derived from changes in ancient human activities: the shift to agricultural activities and so on. Charcoal abundance has increased since 1920 due to combustion of organic substances for fuel. Consequently, charcoal abundance evidence suggests that variation of fire frequency around Lake Biwa was affected more by human activities than by climatic variation.
