Fire ecology north and south of the Alps since the last ice ageHolocene - 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 between ... hiện toàn bộ
Holocene environmental changes in Namibia inferred from pollen analysis of swamp and lake depositsHolocene - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 8-13 - 1991
Louis Scott, Brigitte Cooremans, J.S. de Wet, J. C. Vogel
Spring deposits exposed during building operations in downtown Windhoek, and
lake sediments retrieved from underneath 50 m of water in a sinkhole (Lake
Otjikoto), contain pollen profiles which reflect environmental changes in
Namibia during the Holocene. At Windhoek moist local conditions are reflected by
pollen in the spring deposits which were radiocarbon-dated to between ca. 7000
and 6000 BP. T... hiện toàn bộ
A chronostratigraphy of mid and late-Holocene slope evolution: Creagan a' Chaorainn, Northern Highlands, ScotlandHolocene - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 429-444 - 2006
Eleanor Mary Reid, Michael F. Thomas
Unusual exposure of the drift stratigraphy of a typical, vegetated hillslope in
the Northern Highlands of Scotland has allowed reconstruction of its Holocene
history. Graphic logging of palaeogully fill, sediment analysis, radiocarbon
dating and microscopic investigation of horizon boundaries, link periodic slope
instability to changes in hydrology and vegetation cover. The oldest preserved

Holocene evolution of Huangqihai Lake in semi-arid northern China based on sedimentology and luminescence datingHolocene - Tập 21 Số 8 - Trang 1261-1268 - 2011
Jingran Zhang, Yulian Jia, Zhongping Lai, Hao Long, Linhai Yang
The pattern of Holocene palaeoclimatic change in arid-semiarid northern China is
debated. The terminal Huangqihai Lake is located at the northern margin of the
modern East Asian summer monsoon and sensitive to climate change. We present
here a sedimentary section from Huangqihai lake basin which comprises lacustrine
and fluvial deposits and is about 8–9 m above the present lake level. Quartz

Holocene climate changes in the monsoon/arid transition reflected by carbon concentration in Daihai Lake of Inner MongoliaHolocene - Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 551-560 - 2006
Jinchong Xiao, Jintao Wu, Bin Si, Wendong Liang, Toshio Nakamura, Baolin Liu, Yoshio Inouchi
Two sediment cores recovered in the central part of Daihai Lake in north-central
China were analysed at 2-to 4-cm intervals for total inorganic and organic
carbon (TIC and TOC) concentrations. The TIC concentration is inferred to
reflect temperatures over the lake region and an increase in the TIC
concentration implies an increase in the temperature. TOC concentration is
considered to reflect the ... hiện toàn bộ
Optical dating of Holocene dune sands from the Hulun Buir Desert, northeastern ChinaHolocene - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 457-462 - 2006
Shenghua Li, Jimin Sun
Aeolian deposits from the Hulun Buir Desert of northeastern China are studied
with optically stimulated luminescence dating methods to establish the
chronology of dune building phases and climatic changes since the last
deglaciation. Our results indicate that wet climate, marked by dune
stabilization and soil development in the Hulun Buir Desert, commenced at-11 ka
ago, and this early episode of d... hiện toàn bộ
Interpreting stable-isotope records from freshwater snail-shell carbonate: a Holocene case study from Lake Gölhisar, TurkeyHolocene - Tập 12 Số 5 - Trang 629-634 - 2002
Matthew D. Jones, Melanie J. Leng, Warren J. Eastwood, D. H. Keen, Chris Turney
The oxygen and carbon stable-isotope ratios from fossil snail shells within a
small intramontane lake in southwest Turkey are used to highlight the potential,
and problems, of using freshwater snail carbonate as a palaeoenvironmental
proxy. Two species (Gyraulus piscinarum and Valvata cristata) yielded different
isotope ratios at the same sampling intervals, probably due to differences in
water-is... hiện toàn bộ
Pollen evidence from tropical Australia for the onset of an ENSO-dominated climate at c. 4000 BPHolocene - 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 from
about 5... hiện toàn bộ
