Legacies of historical human activities in Arctic woody plant dynamics
Recent changes in arctic vegetation might not be driven by climate change alone. Legacies
of human activities have received little attention as a contributing factor. We examine the …

A multiproxy approach to long-term herbivore grazing dynamics in peatlands based on pollen, coprophilous fungi and faecal biomarkers
Herbivory plays a significant role in regulating many contemporary terrestrial plant
ecosystems, but remains an imperfectly understood component of past ecosystem dynamics …

Detecting human impacts: non-pollen palynomorphs as proxies for human impact on the environment
E Gauthier, I Jouffroy-Bapicot - 2021 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) are widely used to detect human activities, in addition to
the anthropogenic indicators used in palynology. This paper first tries to determine the best …
