The history of Fagus sylvatica at its northern limit in Vendsyssel, Denmark
Pollen, plant macrofossils and charcoal analyses were used to study tree diversity, fire history and forest disturbance over the past c. 3500 years at three forest remnant sites in Vendsyssel, northern Denmark. All locations had a more diverse tree composition in the past including abundant Alnus, Betula, Corylus, Pinus, Quercus, Salix, Tilia and Ulmus. The changes in tree diversity through time can be attributed to a combination of factors inclu…
Early to Mid-Holocene Tree Immigration and Spread in the Isle of Man
The Isle of Man is a large island which lies in the middle of the northern Irish Sea between Britain and Ireland and, because of its insularity and size, has an impoverished flora compared with the two main islands. This has been the case throughout the postglacial and warrants the island’s description as a separate phytogeographic province. We have considered Holocene tree pollen data from seventeen sites on the island which together preserve a …
Understanding resource choice at the transition from foraging to farming
The role of the environment in shaping agricultural origins is still not fully understood, despite a century of debate on this topic. Comparison of the expected prevalence of a resource in the landscape with actual archaeological presence of the same resource can provide a metric for assessing resource choice in prehistory. However, the palaeoenvironmental data that would allow resource choice to be evaluated in this way are rarely available. Spe…
Will farmers work together for conservation? The potential limits of farmers’ cooperation in agri-environment measures
An approach to modelling the impact of prehistoric farming on Holocene landscape phosphorus dynamics
The lake sediment phosphorus (P) record at Hatch Mere (Cheshire, UK) is investigated to assess the role of human activity in modifying Holocene landscape P export dynamics, and to develop an approach to incorporating this effect into a pre-existing long-term, large-scale landscape model of natural P export. Analysis of the lake sediment record shows that the catchment P yield is low and constant prior to ca. 6000 BP, but then increases up to the …
Detecting climatic signals in an anthropogenically disturbed catchment
Historical and documentary records from the Petit Lac d’Annecy, indicate that human activities have been the dominant ‘geomorphic process’ shaping the catchment during the late Holocene, with deforestation, agriculture and artificial drainage profoundly affecting both the pace and spatial distribution of soil erosion. The impact of past climatic change on the evolution of the catchment is less certain because of the lack of long-term climate reco…
Lake - catchment responses to human and climate forcing
Genesis and significance of the MIS 2 Kirkham moraine
Testing a cellular modelling approach to simulating late-Holocene sediment and water transfer from catchment to lake in the French Alps since 1826
This paper describes the application of a hydrogeomorphological numerical model (CAESAR) to simulate, at hourly time steps, changes in the hydrological and sediment regime of the Petit lac d'Annecy catchment. The outputs of the model were validated in three ways. In the short term (~5 years), water discharge outputs were compared against observed instrumental data. Over the longer term, modelled sediment discharge (AD 1825—2005) was compared with…
Holocene environmental reconstruction of sediment-source linkages at Crummock Water, English Lake District, based on magnetic measurements
To reconstruct Lateglacial and Holocene environmental changes in the British uplands, two c. 5.8 m long sediment cores from Crummock Water (NW England), together with several hundred soil samples from the Crummock Water catchment, were studied using magnetic techniques. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating using fine silt quartz and 14 C dating of terrestrial plant macrofossils were used to establish a chronology for the lake sediments.…
Catchment hydro-geomorphological responses to environmental change in the Southern Uplands of Scotland
Lake sediment and geomorphic evidence from the Loch of the Lowes/St Mary's Loch basin in the central Southern Uplands of Scotland provide a multiproxy reconstruction of changing sediment availability and transmission through the catchment. Interrogation of magnetic, geochemical and grain size parameters for lake and catchment materials suggests it is possible to identify independent proxies that reflect both supply (availability) and discharge (c…
Compilation of non-annually resolved Holocene proxy climate records
Palaeoecological and archaeological evidence for Bronze Age human activity on the Isle of Man
Pollen analytical data and the archaeological record for the Isle of Man identify increased human impact on the landscape during the Bronze Age. Pollen profiles from seven sites are presented, all identifying a greater scale of activity than existed during the preceding Neolithic. The archaeological record shows similar increases in both the number and the distribution of finds. Both the archaeology and palaeoecology indicate an increase in human…
Assessing the impact of volcanic activity on mid-Holocene climate in Ireland
Analyses of pollen, tephra, mineral input and degree of peat humification from three neighbouring raised peat profiles at Corlea, central Ireland, covering the period of the deposition of a tephra layer dated to just before 2290 cal. BC, and thought to represent Hekla-4 (2310±20 BC), are used to show the problems of relying on data from a single profile when invoking relationships between volcanic activity, climate and ecosys-tem response. While …
