Recent advances in palaeoecology provide growing evidence of complex spatio-temporal
patterns of tree species survival during the last glaciation. The distribution of Sweet chestnut …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

The Holocene development of soils and sediments at three sites in the eastern Harz
foreland was investigated using field and laboratory methods and integrated into the …

Quaternary climatic oscillations profoundly impacted temperate biodiversity. For many
diverse yet undersampled areas, however, the consequences of this impact are still poorly …

Aim The regional co‐occurrence of contrasting bioclimatic elements (warm‐temperate,
continental, boreal, arctic‐alpine) may be shaped by the distribution of their glacial or post …

Fire occurrence is driven by a complex interplay between vegetation, climatic, landform and
human factors making it challenging to separate the individual effect of each variable. Here …

Abstract Aim The tinder fungus Fomes fomentarius is a pivotal wood decomposer in
European beech Fagus sylvatica forests. The fungus, however, has regionally declined due …

Pleistocene climatic oscillations have greatly influenced the evolutionary history and
distribution pattern of most extant species. However, their effects on species on the Qinghai …

Cladoceran-based paleotemperature estimates for the Younger Dryas for ten sections of
paleo-oxbow lakes, valley mires, and lacustrine sediments from central Poland are …
