Heuweltjies : a window into the palaeoclimate and palaeovegetation of the Western Cape?
Late Pleistocene terrestrial climate information in the Western Cape. South Africa may be preserved in oxygen and carbon isotope ratios in paedogenic calcrete that bas Conned in zeuweltjies (large circular earth mounds). He11weltjles are common landscape features and their potential as …

Environmental and biochemical controls on the molecular distribution and stable isotope composition of leaf wax biomarkers
… used as proxies in palaeoclimate studies. Palaeovegetation assemblages are reconstructed from their molecular distribution patterns, while their δ13C and δ2H signals are thought to reflect plant-environment interactions and palaeohydrological shifts, respectively. Such applications depend, …

The role of biosphere-atmosphere-ocean interactions in the climate of West Africa during the Middle Holocene
… according to Hoelzmann et al. 's [1998] map of palaeovegetation, a 5.1n orthward shift is simulated, bringing results more consistent with palaeoevidence. Contrary to other studies, these results suggest that multiple climate equilibria could have coexisted over the region of West Africa during …

The Use of Biomarker and Stable Isotope Analyses in Palaeopedology / Reconstruction of Middle and Late Quaternary Environmental and Climate History, with examples from Mt. Kilimanjaro, NE Siberia and NE Argentina
… for the reconstruction of the terrestrial palaeovegetation at plant community level (especially grasses and herbs versus trees). Short- and mid-chain n-alkanes (nC17–nC19 and nC20–nC25, respectively) were successfully used for detecting algal- and aquatic macrophyte-derived organic matter …

Late Quaternary palaeoenvironments and Middle-Late Stone Age habitat preferences in the Nakuru-Naivasha Basin, Kenya: phytolith-based evidence from the site of Prospect Farm
… 68]) was used to determine temporal and spatial palaeovegetation changes at the site. Phytolith-based palaeovegetation reconstructions were supported by published reference material and a new modern reference collection for the Nakuru-Naivasha Basin. For this new reference set, phytoliths were …
