Holocene changes in climate and vegetation in the Ammassalik area, East Greenland, recorded in lake sediments and soil profiles
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 108(1):21–50, 2008 Holocene climatic, vegetational and environmental changes on the Ammassalik Island in SE Greenland (65.5 N and 37.5 W) have been studied in lake sediments and soil profiles. Based on the stratigraphy of sediments, geobiochemical characteristics, pollen and other biological proxies, a history of the land is outlined. The overall and continued climatic cooling during the Holocene…
The Holocene vegetational changes on Qeqertarsuatsiaq, a West Greenland island
Holocene changes in vegetation and climate on a West Greenland outer coastal island were revealed by analysis of sediment cores from a lake just below the upper marine limit. The sedimentation of limnic gyttja above the marine clay began ca. 11,300 B.P. (14C years), so far the oldest dating of limnic sediments in W. Greenland. After a pioneer phase dominated by Oxyria digyna dwarfshrub heaths, first with Empetrum hermaphroditum, followed shortly …
The West Greenland “Greens”—Favourite Caribou Summer Grazing Areas and Late Holocene Climatic Changes
Fredskild, Bent & Sune Holt: The West Greenland "Greens"—Favourite Caribou Summer Grazing Areas and Late Holocene Climatic Changes. Geografisk Tidsskrift 93:30–38. Copenhagen 1993. Though covering less than 2% of the area around Kangerlussuaq, Midwest Greenland, small "greens" of non-flowering Poa pratensis are used as feeding sites by caribou, 25% of the time during summer, peaking at 78% in the post-calving period. Analyses of pollen content an…
Erosion and Vegetational Changes in South Greenland Caused by Agriculture
Fredskild, Bent: Erosion and Vegetational Changes in South Greenland, Caused by Agriculture. Geografisk Tidsskrift 92:14–21. Copenhagen 1992. Pollen analyses and measurements of magnetic parameters in some lakes and ponds in sub-arctic South Greenland have shown, that after stable conditions through most of the Holocene drastic environmental, changes appeared as a result of the introduction of agriculture by the Norsemen c. A.D. 1000: the vegetat…
Plant remains from the Norse farm Sandnes in the western settlement, Greenland
Pollen and macrofossils have been determined in samples from the Norse midden and from a peat section one km away, covering the periods A.D. 1000–1200 and the past two millennia, resp. The midden samples, reflecting all aspects of daily life, includes Flax (Linum usitatissimum) and Corn Spurrey (Spergula arvensis). The vegetation that formed the peat in the fen profile reflects a dry period to the landnam, indicated by a charcoal stripe, and a mo…
Botanical investigations of the mummies
Pollen analysis of a faecal lump shows that the food was contaminated by soil and soot. Oxyria digyna had presumably been eaten, as indicated by unripe pollen of this plant. The major part of the grassy soles of the stockings and kamiks was made up of Elymus arenarius ssp. mollis and Alopecurus alpinus. The bodies were laid down on a layer of Cassiope tetragona. Two independent indices point to, but do not prove, a burial during July-August
The Knud Rasmussen Memorial Expedition Introduction
Jacobsen, N. Kingo, et.al. Report of activities at Tugtuligssuaq, Melville Bugt, 1978–79. Geografisk Tidsskrift 80: 29–44. Copenhagen, June 1980. A joint cooperative Greenland/Danish expedition to the Melville Bugt area, Tugtuligssuaq/Kap Seddon to throw light on the Eskimos' immigration routes to Greenland seen in relation to climatic fluctuations. Studies of geography, botany, zoology, archaeology, and ethnohistory have been carried out
