HOLOCENE PALAEOCLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION FROM N EW ZEALAND PEATLANDS
… were tested on two raised, ombrotrophic, restiad peat bog sites from the North Island of New Zealand. With varying degrees of success, peat humification, testate amoebae, plant macrofossil and charcoal analyses contributed to determining the palaeomoisture records from three cores on each site. …

A high-resolution palaeoecological study of land use change during late prehistory on Exmoor
… Chains, is presented and was produced through peat humification analysis. Vegetation reconstructions were produced through pollen analysis, whereas archives of past grazing intensities and fire histories were created with the use of NPP (non-pollen palynomorph) and charcoal data. Statistical …

Holocene palaeohydrology from testate amoebae analysis: developing a model for British peatlands
… Rhizopoda) are particularly abundant in peatlands. Previous studies have used testate amoebae in palaeoenvironmental studies, but have used qualitative data only, so that results are expressed only in terms of 'wet', 'dry' or 'moist'. This study uses testate amoebae to derive quantitative …

Tree-limit ecotonal response to Holocene climate change in the Scandes Mountains of west-central Sweden
… Records of climatic humidity inferred from peat humification data (DOH) were obtained from two separate profiles at a nearby peat deposit (Klocka Bog), situated below the forest-limit. Evaluation of the DOH records exhibits millennial-scale trends, which are significantly correlated between …

Holocene climate change and peatland dynamics in southern Sweden based on tree-ring analysis of subfossil wood from peat deposits
… (Pinus sylvestris L.) buried in South Swedish peat deposits. By cross-dating Swedish bog-pine ring-width (RW) chronologies with corresponding material from North-west Germany, three Swedish RW chronologies were assigned absolute ages and yielded continuous, dated chronologies over the periods …
