In the decade since the first pan-European testate amoeba-based transfer function for
peatland palaeohydrological reconstruction was published, a vast amount of additional data …

Peat, especially from acidic mires (bogs), is a natural archive of past environmental change.
Reconstructions of past climate from bogs commenced in the 19th Century through …

Climate warming and human impacts are thought to be causing peatlands to dry, potentially
converting them from sinks to sources of carbon. However, it is unclear whether the …

The use of testate amoebae in studies of peatland hydrology and palaeohydrology has been
increasing, and considerable efforts have been made over the past decade to standardise …

We examine mid-to late Holocene centennial-scale climate variability in Ireland using proxy
data from peatlands, lakes and a speleothem. A high degree of between-record variability is …

Palaeoenvironmental and archaeological data from several regions around the world show
evidence of a multi-centennial climatic event occurring approximately 4200 cal yr BP (4.2 …

Mid-to-late Holocene high-resolution testate amoebae-derived water table reconstructions
from two peatlands in the North of Ireland are presented. The proxy climate records are …

Evidence for a major climate event at 5.2 ka has been reported globally and is associated
with considerable societal disruption, but is poorly characterised in northwest Europe. This …

Testate amoebae (TA) are a common and diverse group of protists and are especially
abundant in peatlands. The structure of peatland TA communities is well correlated to …

Fossil testate amoeba assemblages have been used to reconstruct peatland
palaeohydrology for more than two decades. While transfer function training sets are …
