  abstract = {{M}arine microcharcoal records provide invaluable information to understand changes in biomass burning and its drivers over multiple glacial and interglacial cycles and to evaluate fire models under warmer climates than today. {H}owever, quantitative reconstructions of burnt area, fire intensity and frequency from these records need calibration studies of the current fire-microcharcoal relationship. {H}ere, we present the analysis of microcharcoal concentration and morphology in 102 core-top sediment samples collected in the {I}berian margin and the {G}ulf of {C}adiz. {W}e show that microcharcoal concentrations are influenced by the water depth or the distance from the river mouth. {A}t regional scale, the mean microcharcoal concentrations and microcharcoal elongation (length to width ratio) show a marked latitudinal variation in their distribution, primarily controlled by the type of burnt vegetation in the adjacent continent. {H}igh microcharcoal concentrations in marine sediments represent rare, large and intense fires in open {M}editerranean woodlands. {B}ased on these results, the increasing trend of microcharcoal concentrations recorded since 8 ka in the well-known marine sedimentary core {MD}95-2042 off the {I}berian margin indicates the occurrence of large and infrequent fires of high intensity due to the progressive degradation of the {M}editerranean forest and the expansion of shrublands.},
