Radiocarbon dating is one of the main methods used to establish peat chronologies. This
article reviews the basis of the method and its application to dating of peat deposits …

Peatland vegetation takes up mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere, typically contributing to net
production and export of neurotoxic methyl-Hg to downstream ecosystems. Chemical …

Priority question exercises are becoming an increasingly common tool to frame future
agendas in conservation and ecological science. They are an effective way to identify …

Northern boreal peatlands are major terrestrial sinks of organic carbon and these
ecosystems, which are highly sensitive to human activities and climate change, act as …

Lead pollution history over Northern Poland was reconstructed for the last ca. 1300years
using the elemental and Pb isotope geochemistry of a dated Polish peat bog. The data show …

Temperature influences the global distribution of mangroves, and global warming may be
causing a poleward mangrove expansion. Sedimentary features, pollen, and isotopes data …

The laboratory for 14C AMS sample preparation in the Gliwice Radiocarbon Laboratory has
gradually evolved since its start in 1999 to cater for an increase in volume and variety of …

The objective of our study was to determine the trace metal accumulation rates in the Misten
bog, Hautes-Fagnes, Belgium, and assess these in relation to established histories of …

High-resolution studies of peat profiles are frequently undertaken to investigate natural and
anthropogenic disturbances over time. However, overlapping profiles of the most commonly …

Four sediment cores were collected in 2008 from the Misten ombrotrophic peat bog in the
Northern part of the Hautes Fagnes Plateau in Belgium. Total mercury (Hg) concentrations …
