  • A humification-based method toward refining Holocene radiocarbon chronologies

    Open AccessNannan Li, Fengling Yu et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2023Referências: 13

    Holocene paleoclimate reconstructions and comparisons largely rely on accurate age-depth modeling. However, uncertainties in chronology, such as those caused by sparse radiocarbon dates, will hamper inter-core comparisons and correlations, and might result in misleading “cause and consequence” conclusions. This study aimed to find a solution to increase the comparability and minimize the uncertainty of wetland chronology as much as possible. Sedi…

  • Agricultural systems regulate plant and insect diversity and induce ecosystem novelty

    Open AccessJohn Woodbridge, Ralph Fyfe et al.ARTICLEAnthropocene2023Citada por: 2Referências: 81

    Land-use change plays an important role in shaping plant and insect diversity over long time timescales. Great Britain provides an ideal case study to investigate patterns of long-term vegetation and insect diversity change owing to the existence of spatially and temporally extensive environmental archives (lake sediments, peatlands, and archaeological sites) and a long history of landscape transformation through agrarian change. The trends ident…

  • Evidence for the Little Ice Age in upland northwestern Europe

    Open AccessJ C Webb, Julia McCarroll et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2022Citada por: 2Referências: 27

    The Little Ice Age (LIA) is a well-recognised palaeoclimatic phenomenon, although its causes, duration and severity have been matters of debate and dispute. Data from a wide range of archives have been used to infer climate variability before, during and after the LIA. Some published proxy-climate data from peatlands imply that two particularly severe episodes within the LIA may be contemporaneous between hemispheres; these echo a previous climat…

  • Linking Holocene East Asian monsoon variability to solar forcing and Enso activity

    Open AccessNannan Li, Arash Sharifi et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2021Citada por: 1Referências: 20

    High-resolution proxy-based paleoenvironmental records derived from peatlands provide important insights into climate changes over centennial to millennial timescales. In this study, we present a composite climatic index (CCI) for the Hani peatland from northeastern China, based on an innovative combination of pollen-spore, phytolith, and grain size data. We use the CCI to reconstruct variations of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) intensity d…

  • Landscapes of sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa ) in Britain — their ancient origins

    Rob Jarman, Frank M Chambers et al.ARTICLELandscape History2019

    Sweet chestnut Castanea sativa has been regarded as a Roman archaeophyte in Britain ever since a debate in the eighteenth century contested whether it was indigenous or introduced. This paper re-examines its status, presenting new evidence within an ‘historical ecology’ analytical framework. Sweet chestnut trees and coppice stools from 237 sites across England and Wales were assessed using genetic, dendrochronological, palaeoenvironmental, archae…

  • An 8000-year multi-proxy peat-based palaeoclimate record from Newfoundland

    Open AccessAntony Blundell, Paul Hughes et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Citada por: 1Referências: 26

    Energy carried by warm tropical water, transported via the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), plays a vital role in regulating the climate of regions bordering the North Atlantic Ocean. Previous phases of elevated freshwater input to areas of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) production in the early to mid-Holocene have been linked with slow-downs in the AMOC and changes in regional climate. Newfoundland’s proximity in the North A…

  • The ‘Little Ice Age’

    Open AccessFrank M ChambersARTICLEThe Holocene2015Citada por: 2Referências: 13

  • Social-ecological systems in the Anthropocene

    Open AccessJohn A Dearing, Ja Dearing et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2015Citada por: 19Referências: 97

    Understanding social-ecological system dynamics is a major research priority for sustainable management of landscapes, ecosystems and resources. But the lack of multi-decadal records represents an important gap in information that hinders the development of the research agenda. Without improved information on the long-term and complex interactions between causal factors and responses, it will be difficult to answer key questions about trends, rat…

  • A database and synthesis of northern peatland soil properties and Holocene carbon and nitrogen accumulation

    Open AccessJulie Loisel, Zicheng Yu et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Citada por: 21Referências: 11

    Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands. Our database consists of 268 peat cores from 215 sites located north of 45°N. It encompasses regions within which peat carbon data have only recently become available, such as the West Siberia Lowlands, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Kamchatka in Far East Russia, and the Tibetan…

  • The ‘Little Ice Age’ in the Southern Hemisphere in the context of the last 3000 years

    Open AccessFrank M Chambers, Sally Brain et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Citada por: 9Referências: 8

    The so-called ‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) of the 15th to 19th centuries ad is well-attested from much of Europe and from some other parts of the Northern Hemisphere. It has been attributed to solar forcing, associated with reduced solar activity, notably during the Spörer, Maunder and Dalton solar minima, although other causes have also been proposed and feature strongly in recent papers. Detection of the LIA in some proxy-climate records from the Sou…

  • Dating Recent Peat Accumulation in European Ombrotrophic Bogs

    Johannes Van Der Plicht, Dan Yeloff et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2013Citada por: 5Referências: 50

    This study compares age estimates of recent peat deposits in 10 European ombrotrophic (precipitation-fed) bogs produced using the 14 C bomb peak, 210 Pb, 137 Cs, spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs), and pollen. At 3 sites, the results of the different dating methods agree well. In 5 cores, there is a clear discrepancy between the 14 C bomb peak and 210 Pb age estimates. In the upper layers of the profiles, the age estimates of 14 C and 210 P…

  • The disappearance of Sphagnum imbricatum from Butterburn Flow, UK

    Open AccessErin L McClymont, Dmitri Mauquoy et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2008Citada por: 5Referências: 6

    The disappearance of the previously abundant moss species Sphagnum imbricatum has been investigated at Butterburn Flow, northern England, using organic geochemical, elemental, macrofossil, pollen and testate amoebae analyses. Variations in the assemblage of peat-forming plants were tracked using the macrofossil distributions as well as the relative chain lengths of n-alkanes and concentrations of 5- n-alkylresorcinols and triterpenols. No signifi…

  • An Ecological Context for the Post-Roman Archaeology of the Somerset Moors (South West England, UK)

    Open AccessRupert A Housley, Vanessa Straker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Wetland Archaeology2007Citada por: 2Referências: 3

    In contrast to the widely reported research into the wetland prehistory of the Somerset Moors and Levels, the wetland archaeology for the historic periods of this region of south west England has always been less well known, being reliant on mostly non-wetland sources of information, e.g. documentary evidence, cartographic studies and inferences made from dry land archaeological sites. This study attempts to correct this imbalance by outlining pa…

  • Late Holocene climatic changes in Tierra del Fuego based on multiproxy analyses of peat deposits.

    Open AccessDmitri Mauquoy, Martijn Blaauw et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2004

    A ca. 1400-yr record from a raised bog in Isla Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, registers climate fluctuations, including a Medieval Warm Period, although evidence for the ‘Little Ice Age’ is less clear. Changes in temperature and/or precipitation were inferred from plant macrofossils, pollen, fungal spores, testate amebae, and peat humification. The chronology was established using a 14 C wiggle-matching technique that provides improved age …

  • Mineral deficiency and the presence of Pinus sylvestris on mires during the mid- to late Holocene

    Open AccessTim Mighall, T M Mighall et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2004Citada por: 1Referências: 14

    Pollen records across parts of Ireland, England and northern Scotland show a dramatic collapse in Pinus pollen percentages at approximately 4000 radiocarbon years BP. This phenomenon has attracted much palaeoecological interest and several hypotheses have been put forward to account for this often synchronous and rapid reduction in pine from mid-Holocene woodland. Explanations for the ‘pine decline’ include prehistoric human activity, climatic ch…

  • Holocene environmental change

    Open AccessFrank M Chambers, D J CharmanARTICLEThe Holocene2004Citada por: 14Referências: 11

    Peatlands provide a widespread terrestrial archive of Holocene environmental change. The taphon omy of peat is relatively simple, the range of evidence and proxies is wide, and dating methods have become more accurate and precise, such that the potential temporal resolution of records is high. Although long estab lished, the use of peatlands as archives of Holocene change has undergone phases of decline and resurgence. Here, the variable exploita…
