This article provides a brief review of protocols used in peat inorganic geochemistry. We
emphasise the key issues that could lead to inter-comparison problems. For each section …

Tephra layers can form useful age-equivalent stratigraphic markers for correlating
palaeoenvironmental sequences and they provide information about the spatio-temporal …

Paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental studies in the north-eastern Italian Alps have been
hampered by the rarity of well-preserved high-altitude deposits and the lack of high …

In this study, six approaches were used to characterize hydrological changes in the
Čepkeliai wetland complex (southeast Lithuania), namely (i) local water-table …

Over the last 2000 years, climatic and anthropogenic factors have influenced vegetation in
Madagascar, but the contribution of these two factors has been the subject of intense …

We use a multiproxy palaeoecological dataset from Dead Island bog in Northern Ireland to
examine the cause of the Sphagnum austinii (Sphagnum imbricatum) decline. The …

Radionuclide dating is a robust technique for establishing the recent accumulation rate for
most peatlands. In this article we review the production of 'fall-out'radionuclides and the …

Tephrochronology is an increasingly important tool for the dating of sediment and peat
profiles for palaeoecological, palaeoclimatic and archaeological research. However …

Here, we describe environmental change on Lord Howe Island (LHI; 31° 30′ S, 159° 05′
E) over the last 5500 cal. BP, derived from the analysis of the accumulating sediments in four …

Large areas of upland mire and moorland in Northwest Europe are regarded as degraded,
not actively peat-forming, and releasing carbon. Conservation agencies have short-term …
