Unpacking ancient agricultural systems using chemotaxonomy to classify Poaceae pollen from Nar Gölü, Cappadocia, Türkiye
Current morphological palynological methods for taxonomic discrimination of wild Poaceae versus domesticated cereals result in high levels of uncertainty. This uncertainty complicates the use of pollen records when investigating changes in historical landscapes managed by communities since the first evidence of cereal cultivation. To improve taxonomic resolution in the Poaceae family, we applied a chemotaxonomic approach using pollen chemical tra…
Proxy reconstruction of ultraviolet-B irradiance at the Earth’s surface, and its relationship with solar activity and ozone thickness
Solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiance that reaches the Earth’s surface acts as a biotic stressor and has the potential to modify ecological and environmental functioning. The challenges of reconstructing ultraviolent (UV) irradiance prior to the satellite era mean that there is uncertainty over long-term surface UV-B patterns, especially in relation to variations in solar activity over centennial and millennial timescales. Here, we reconstruct su…
Pollen-vegetation richness and diversity relationships in the tropics
Tracking changes in biodiversity through time requires an understanding of the relationship between modern diversity and how this diversity is preserved in the fossil record. Fossil pollen is one way in which past vegetation diversity can be reconstructed. However, there is limited understanding of modern pollen-vegetation diversity relationships from biodiverse tropical ecosystems. Here, pollen (palynological) richness and diversity (Hill N 1 ) …
