This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional
traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past …

The subalpine, atmospherically fed Śnieżka peatland, located in the Polish part of the
Sudetes, is one of the nominated candidates for the GSSP of the Anthropocene. Data from …

Protists are probably the most species-rich eukaryotes, yet their systematics are inaccurate,
leading to an underestimation of their actual diversity. Arcellinida (= lobose testate …

This paper presents the results of multiproxy research (pollen, charcoal, plant macrofossil
and testate amoebae) on the biogenic deposits core from Gorodetsky Moch, an …

In this review we assess past and current trends in the use of testate amoebae in peatland
science, concentrating mainly on studies conducted in northern peatlands. We also discuss …

Global warming has compelled to strengthen the resilience of European forests. Due to
repeated droughts and heatwaves, weakened trees become vulnerable to insect outbreaks …

Testate amoebae are one of the most studied groups of microorganisms in Sphagnum
peatland ecosystems and, therefore, one of the most reliable bioindicators of their ecological …

Understanding carbon sequestration patterns in time and space is crucial for models and
future projections of carbon uptake. However, their past provides an insight to this …

Northern peatlands, which are highly heterogeneous ecosystems, are a globally important
carbon (C) store. Understanding the drivers and predicting the future trajectory of the …

Peat cores from boreal bog and fen sites in the Hudson Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario,
Canada, were analysed to calculate Holocene carbon accumulation rates, and to show how …
