Holocene fire activity during low-natural flammability periods reveals scale-dependent cultural human-fire relationships in Europe
Fire is a natural component of global biogeochemical cycles and closely related to changes
in human land use. Whereas climate-fuel relationships seem to drive both global and …

Testate amoeba functional traits and their use in paleoecology
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Widespread drying of European peatlands in recent centuries
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 role of peatlands and their carbon storage function in the context of climate change
Peatlands are unique habitats that are covering around 3% of the land area and they are
characterized by high sensitivity to climate. These very complex ecosystems impact both …

Unveiling tipping points in long-term ecological records from Sphagnum-dominated peatlands
Unveiling past tipping points is a prerequisite for a better understanding of how individual
species and entire ecosystems will respond to future climate change. Such knowledge is key …

A novel testate amoebae trait-based approach to infer environmental disturbance in Sphagnum peatlands
Species' functional traits are closely related to ecosystem processes through evolutionary
adaptation, and are thus directly connected to environmental changes. Species' traits are not …

Unveiling exceptional Baltic bog ecohydrology, autogenic succession and climate change during the last 2000 years in CE Europe using replicate cores, multi-proxy …
We present the results of high-resolution, multi-proxy palaeoecological investigations of two
parallel peat cores from the Baltic raised bog Mechacz Wielki in NE Poland. We aim to …
