This article discusses the changes that occurred in the forests of the east coast of Sumatra during colonial period. An important question in this article is why has it been a change to the functioning of the forest?. What has the consequences of the change? This study uses the basic methods of history: heuristic, criticism, interpretation and historioghraphy. This research has used colonial documents and archives. The secondary data have been magazines and newspapers. The results of this research is the changes function of east coast Sumatra forest becaused colonial. The colonial successed to controlling the region. The defeat of the kingdom on the east coast Sumatra made it easy for the colonials to carry out a centralized bureaucratic system and the application of the capitalist economic system. Since 1871 the east coast of Sumatra until Indonesia independence expanded the plantations ranging from tobacco, rubber, etc. For the benefit of plantations and industry also began to be built office housing and road as well as railway. The area, which was formerly a forest, has been transformed into a destination for colonial economic benefits. It impacted the condition of forests, rivers, coastal areas and the sea. Most of the forest has been reduced which has an impact on river erosion and superficiality. Most of the rivers that were once a means of transportation are difficult and can no longer be sailed. Similarly, this shallowing has had an impact on the dwindling breed and number of fish that were once very easy to find on the seafront waters of the Malacca Straits.

Key message Long Bosnian pine chronologies from different mountains are shaped by different climatic parameters and can help identify past drought events and reconstruct landscape histories. Abstract We developed a 735-year-long Pinus heldreichii chronology from the southern distribution limit of the species, expanding the available database of long Bosnian pine chronologies. Tree-ring growth was mainly positively correlated with growing degree days (GDD: r1950–2018 = 0.476) while higher temperatures during both winter and growing season also enhanced growth (TWT: r1950–2018 = 0.361 and TGS: 0.289, respectively). Annual precipitation, during both calendar and water years, had a negative but weaker impact on annual tree growth. The newly developed chronology correlates well with chronologies developed from the neighboring mountains. The years with ring width index (RWI) lower than the average were found to correspond to cool years with dry summers. Still, the newly developed chronology was able to capture severe drought events, such as those in 1660, 1687, and 1725. Several old living trees had internal scars presumably caused by fires. Therefore, old mature trees could be used for fire history reconstruction in addition to climate reconstruction. Although the presence of lightning scars indicates an important natural agent of fire ignition, human activities associated with animal grazing could also be an underlying reason for fires in the region.

“…Fire histories from dendrochronological data come from fire-scarred trees or shrubs that can be accurately dated (Agee, 1993). Such records can yield information about particular events (e.g., Camarero et al, 2019) or mean fire return intervals spanning decades or centuries from diverse forests (Guyette et al, 2012), including boreal forests (Girardin, 2006), mixed temperate forests (Mundo et al, 2017; Holz et al, 2017; Stambaugh et al, 2018; Brown et al, 2019), dry mixed-conifer forests (Veblen et al, 2000); Mediterranean woodlands and forests (Christopoulou, 2013; Fulé, 2008; Pausas, 2004), wet sclerophyll forests, and forest-prairie or grassland ecotones (e.g., Hessl et al, 2016; Mazarzhanova et al, 2017). Extensive datasets of fire-scarred tree ring records are available for many parts of the world, and especially from the United States (Harley et al, 2018).…”

Wildfires are an integral part of most terrestrial ecosystems. Paleofire records composed of charcoal, soot, and other combustion products deposited in lake and marine sediments, soils, and ice provide a record of the varying importance of fire over time on every continent. This study reviews paleofire research to identify lessons about the nature of fire on Earth and how its past variability is relevant to modern environmental challenges. Four lessons are identified. First, fire is highly sensitive to climate change, and specifically to temperature changes. As long as there is abundant, dry fuel, we can expect that in a warming climate, fires will continue to grow unusually large, severe, and uncontrollable in fire-prone environments. Second, a better understanding of “slow” (interannual to multidecadal) socioecological processes is essential for predicting future wildfire and carbon emissions. Third, current patterns of burning, which are very low in some areas and very high in others—are often unprecedented in the context of the Holocene. Taken together, these insights point to a fourth lesson—that current changes in wildfire dynamics provide an opportunity for paleoecologists to engage the public and help them understand the potential consequences of anthropogenic climate change.
