We present a comparative analysis of fire reconstructions from tree rings and from wood
charcoal preserved in forest soils, peat and lake sediments. Our objective is to highlight the …

Contemporary measurements of carbon (C) accumulation rates in peatlands around the
world often show the C sink to be stronger on average than at times in the past. Alteration of …

The location, timing, spatial extent, and frequency of wildfires are changing rapidly in many
parts of the world, producing substantial impacts on ecosystems, people, and potentially …

The construction of accurate age–depth relationships and a realistic assessment of their
uncertainties is one of the fundamental prerequisites for comparing and correlating late …

Here we establish the timing of major flood events of the central Mississippi River over the
last 1,800 y, using floodwater sediments deposited in two floodplain lakes. Shifts in the …

Paleoecological data are integral to ecological and evolutionary analyses. First, they provide
an opportunity to study ecological and evolutionary interactions between communities and …

Motivation We have little understanding of how communities respond to varying magnitudes
and rates of environmental perturbations across temporal scales. BioDeepTime harmonizes …

Our knowledge about the Holocene evolution of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM)
and its relation to human activities remains incomplete. A detailed palynological …

The temporal vegetation development provides vital information for understanding past
climatic changes. In this study, we reconstruct vegetation dynamics from the last glacial …

Abstract The Indo–Pacific Pollen Database (IPPD) is the brainchild of the late professor
Geoffrey Hope, who gathered pollen records from across the region to ensure their …
