Better Image?
editThere are some great images in Anderson et al. We might be able to get one to use with permission. Elsewise, one could be made from LANDFIRE data pretty easily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielg7 (talk • contribs) 18:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
External links modified
editHello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Pre-Columbian savannas of North America. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/20061007170731/http://www.forestry.state.al.us/publication/TF_publications/tffall99/products_of_the_longleaf_pine.pdf to http://www.forestry.state.al.us/publication/TF_publications/tffall99/products_of_the_longleaf_pine.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Evidence of pre-Columbian burning ?
editAlthough the article states that during the pre-Columbian period, Indians used controlled burns to maintain the savannas, the article also states that by the time that the (literate) European settlers arrived, both the Indians and the savannas had largely disappeared. So (presumably) there are no eye-witness accounts of Indians performing controlled burns.
So where is the evidence that controlled burns occurred during the pre-Columbian period ?
Are there periodic layers of ash in the soil of what are now forests? Have sediment cores from lakes or streams or rivers revealed periodic layers of ash?
What is the actual, physical evidence for the existence of pre-Columbian savannas? What evidence supports the map of savannas that appears in this article?
