Following an uncontrolled fire in an area of heathland in SW England, surface samples were taken from selected positions. Charcoal concentrations, charcoal/pollen ratio and size-class frequencies were measured and the data from burned, unburned and forest areas are compared. Charcoal concentrations show distinct variability between closely-spaced samples, but despite this differences are shown between the burned and unburned areas. Selected size-classes are suggested as being appropriate for distinguishing between burned and unburned areas in palaeoecological studies. While in need of replication, these data should provide a basis for further studies of this type. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
