Estimating carbon accumulation rates of undrained mires in Finland–application to boreal and subarctic regions Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 69-80 - 2002
Jukka Turunen, Erkki Tomppo, Kimmo Tolonen, Antti Reinikainen
Equations based on empirical relationships of peat physical properties were used to estimate the average long-term apparent rate of carbon accumulation (LORCA) in Finnish mire vegetation regions. The results were generalized to the boreal and subarctic regions. Analyses of 1302 dated peat cores were used to infer carbon accumulation for each mire vegetation region of Finland. The area-wei...... hiện toàn bộ
High-resolution palaeoclimatology of the last millennium: a review of current status and future prospects Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 3-49 - 2009

Ammann, Brendan M. Buckley, K. M. Cobb, Jan Esper, Hugues Goosse, Nicholas E. Graham, Eystein Jansen, Thorsten Kiefer, Christoph Kull, Marcel Küttel, Ellen Mosley‐Thompson, Jonathan T. Overpeck, N. Riedwyl, Michael Schulz, Alexander W. Tudhope, Ricardo Villalba, J. Werner, Eric Wolff, Elena Xoplaki
This review of late-Holocene palaeoclimatology represents the results from a PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection Panel meeting that took place in June 2006. The review is in three parts: the principal high-resolution proxy disciplines (trees, corals, ice cores and documentary evidence), emphasizing current issues in their use for climate reconstruction; the various approaches that have been adopted...... hiện toàn bộ
Three decades of dating recent sediments by fallout radionuclides: a review Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 83-93 - 2008
P. G. Appleby
This paper reviews the 210Pb dating programme carried out at the University of Liverpool over a period of three decades since its inception by Frank Oldfield in the mid-1970s. The work at Liverpool has included studies of the basic processes controlling the supply of 210Pb to the various natural archives, as well as the development of a detailed a...... hiện toàn bộ
Climatic, vegetation and cultural change in the eastern Mediterranean during the mid-Holocene environmental transition Tập 21 Số 1 - Trang 147-162 - 2011
Neil Roberts, Warren J. Eastwood, Catherine Kuzucuoğlu, Girolamo Fiorentino, Valentina Caracuta
The eastern Mediterranean region witnessed changes in human culture of the highest importance between ~9000 and ~2500 cal. BP (7000—500 BC) and over the same time period was affected by very significant shifts in climate. Stable isotope data from lake and deep-sea sediment cores and from cave speleothems show an overall trend from a wetter to a drier climate during the mid Holocene. Super...... hiện toàn bộ
Synchronous Holocene climatic oscillations recorded on the Swiss Plateau and at timberline in the Alps Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 301-309 - 1998
Jean Nicolas Haas, Isabelle Richoz, Willy Tinner, Lucia Wick
Eight synchronous pre-Roman cold phases were found at 9600–9200, 8600–8150, 7550–6900, 6600– 6200, 5350–4900, 4600–4400, 3500–3200 and 2600–2350 radiocarbon years BP by reconstructing past climate at two sites on the Swiss Plateau and at timberline in the Alps. The cooling events during the early-and mid-Holocene represent temperature values similar to today, and apparently the onset of c...... hiện toàn bộ
Pollen evidence from tropical Australia for the onset of an ENSO-dominated climate at c. 4000 BP Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 10-18 - 1995
James Shulmeister, Jeffery A. Thompson
The Holocene climatic history of tropical northern Australia is re-examined using the recently published pollen record from Groote Eylandt to corroborate and refine previous climatic inter pretations. We identify a four-stage Holocene comprising: (1) a continuous increase in effective precipitation (EP) from the beginning of the Holocene to about 5000 BP; (2) a mid-Holocene EP maximum fro...... hiện toàn bộ
Fire ecology north and south of the Alps since the last ice age Tập 15 Số 8 - Trang 1214-1226 - 2005
Willy Tinner, Marco Conedera, Brigitta Ammann, André F. Lotter
Wildfires are very rare in central Europe, which is probably why fire effects on vegetation have been neglected by most central European ecologists and palaeoecologists. Presently, reconstructions of fire history and fire ecology are almost absent. We analysed sediment cores from lakes on the Swiss Plateau (Lobsigensee and Soppensee) for pollen and charcoal to investigate the relationship...... hiện toàn bộ
A new estimate of the Holocene lowstand level of Lake Titicaca, central Andes, and implications for tropical palaeohydrology Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 21-32 - 2000
Scott Cross, Paul A. Baker, Geoffrey O. Seltzer, Sherilyn C. Fritz, Robert B. Dunbar
New evidence from piston cores and high-resolution seismic reflection data shows that water levels in Lake Titicaca were as much as 100 m below the present level during the early to mid-Holocene (between .6 and 3.8 14C kyr BP). Climatological and modelling studies indicate that Lake Titicaca rainfall depends on convective activity in upwind Amazonia; the lake-level da...... hiện toàn bộ
Early wheat in China: Results from new studies at Donghuishan in the Hexi Corridor Tập 20 Số 6 - Trang 955-965 - 2010
Rowan K. Flad, Shuicheng Li, Xiaohong Wu, Zhijun Zhao
The earliest direct dates of wheat in East Asia come from Donghuishan in Gansu Province, China. Few other dates of wheat in East Asia are direct dates. The previous direct dates at Donghuishan were obtained from wheat without secure context. New samples were taken from a stratigraphic profile at Donghuishan and directly dated. The wheat remains are earlier than any other directly dated wh...... hiện toàn bộ
