Heavy metal-based bat guano chronologies
Bat guano has gained recognition as a reliable paleoenvironmental archive in recent decades, but to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions using bat guano, an age depth model is required. For post-bomb, modern guano deposits, radiocarbon dating is the most acceptable method for determining chronologies but is costly and not always straightforward. Thus, a reliable and inexpensive alternative is needed. Heavy metal concentrations are an unteste…
Charcoal source area in a landscape dominated by human fire use
Sedimentary charcoal is the most ubiquitous paleofire proxy, yet uncertainties remain in our ability to interpret it. Particularly, charcoal source area and the distinguishability of charcoal signals from human-caused versus wildfire remain persistent areas of ongoing research. This paper focuses on sedimentary charcoal data from Ditch Pond, a small lake located in the Conecuh National Forest (NF) of southern Alabama, USA, where prescribed fire (…
Morphometric characteristics of charcoal produced from plants native to the southeastern United States of America (USA)
Charcoal shape variations provide insight into past fuel types burned, with charcoal length:width (L:W) being the most popular means of distinguishing fuel types. This paper presents morphometric data (L:W) of charcoal produced from plant taxa (n = 21) native to the southeastern United States of America (USA). These taxa included monocots (n = 3), dicots (n = 12), and gymnosperms (n = 6), which represented a range of growth habits including grami…
The environmental consequences of rapid urbanization in central Florida reconstructed with high resolution 241Am and 210Pb dating in lake sediments
Linking prescribed fire, nutrient deposition and cyanobacteria dominance through pyroeutrophication in a subtropical lake ecosystem from the mid Holocene to present
The Holocene history of a tropical high-altitude lake in central Mexico
High-altitude lakes are sensitive to modern and past climate changes. Given their low-water temperatures, alkalinity, and nutrient levels, small climatic differences can strongly affect their water chemistry, and/or biodiversity. In central Mexico, there are only two high-altitude lakes, and both are within the crater of the Nevado de Toluca volcano. Here, we present a paleolimnological record from one of these lakes: La Luna. Previous paleoenvir…
Chronic prescribed burning alters nutrient deposition and sediment stoichiometry in a lake ecosystem
Burning peat and reworking loess contribute to the formation and evolution of a large Carolina-bay basin
Carolina bays are nearly ubiquitous along ~ 1300 km of the North American Atlantic Coastal Plain, but relatively few bays have been examined in detail, making their formation and evolution a topic of controversy. The Lake Mattamuskeet basin, eastern North Carolina, USA, is a conglomeration of multiple Carolina bays that form a > 162 km 2 lake. The eastern shoreline of the lake is made up of a 2.9-km-wide plain of parabolic ridges that recorded ra…
From pillar to post
Shelter recently published a report, From Pillar To Post: Failing to meet the support and housing needs of vulnerable people, which showed just how important it is that agencies work closely together. A survey of Shelter's network of housing aid centres and projects found that housing and social services departments are failing to work together, and the needs of service users are not being met. Guidance to local authorities encouraging department…
