  abstract = {{W}e used a new, 100-year, 1 x 1 degrees global fire map and a carbon cycle model ({CASA}) to provide a yearly gridded estimate of the temporal trend in carbon emissions due to wildfires through the 20th century. 2700 - 3325 {T}g {C} y(-1) burn at the end of the 20th century, compared to 1500 2700 {T}g {C} y(-1) at the beginning, with increasing uncertainty moving backward in time. {T}here have been major changes in the regional distribution of emissions from fires, as a consequence of i) increased burning in tropical savannas and ii) a switch of emissions from temperate and boreal forests towards the tropics. {T}he frequently- used assumption that pre-industrial emissions were 10% of present biomass burning is clearly inadequate, in terms of both the total amount and the spatial distribution of combustion.},
