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 …

Peat formation is widespread across the globe but the majority of existing proxy climate
records come from the ombrotrophic (rain-fed) raised and blanket peat bogs of temperate …

Mires have been used as sources of proxy climatic data since the last century. The progress
of research into the relationship between peat characteristics and climate is reviewed. 2. It is …

Peatland palaeoclimate sequences produce bog surface wetness (BSW) reconstructions
which are commonly interpreted as changes in summer effective precipitation, ie the net …

Pioneer studies of peat stratigraphy in Scandinavia led to division of the Holocene into
climatic periods, and though this scheme was later re-evaluated and partly rejected, studies …

Peatlands provide a widespread terrestrial archive of Holocene environmental change. The
taphon omy of peat is relatively simple, the range of evidence and proxies is wide, and …

Two 14C accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) wiggle‐match dated peat sequences from
Denmark and northern England record changes in mire surface wetness reconstructed …

The mid to late‐Holocene climates of most of Scotland have been reconstructed from seven
peat bogs located across north–south and east–west geographical and climatological …

Quantified analyses of plant macrofossil remains have been made from three profiles of peat
from raised bogs spanning a distance of 425km from western Ireland to northern England …

Two new peat‐based climate records from Ireland covering the late Holocene are
presented. The sequences are dated by a strong chronological framework formed by AMS …
