Centennial-scale climate change in Ireland during the Holocene
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 …

Testing peatland water-table depth transfer functions using high-resolution hydrological monitoring data
Transfer functions are now commonly used to reconstruct past environmental variability from
palaeoecological data. However, such approaches need to be critically appraised. Testate …

Effects of fire on the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology of peatland river systems
Peatlands are found around the world and cover∼ 3.4% of the Earth's surface. In the UK,
peatlands cover 17.2% or∼ 1.58 Mha of the land surface and occur mainly in upland areas …
