Stuart; Cornell, Sarah E.; Díaz, Sandra; Jennings, Simon; Leadley, Paul; Mumby, Peter J.; Purvis, Andy; Scholes, Robert J.; Seddon, Alistair; Solan, Martin; Steffen, W.; Woodward, Guy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09)The idea that there is an identifiable set of boundaries, beyond which anthropogenic change will put the Earth system outside a safe operating space for humanity, is attracting interest in the scientific community and ... -
Chemical variations in Quercus pollen as a tool for taxonomic identification: Implications for long-term ecological and biogeographical research
Muthreich, Florian; Zimmermann, Boris; Birks, Harry John Betteley; Vila-Vicosa, Carlos M; Seddon, Alistair (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aim Fossil pollen is an important tool for understanding biogeographical patterns in the past, but the taxonomic resolution of the fossil‐pollen record may be limited to genus or even family level. Chemical analysis of ... -

Seddon, Alistair; Froyd, Cynthia A.; Leng, Melanie J.; Milne, Glenn A.; Willis, Katherine Jane (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-21)Background: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a conservative estimate on rates of sea-level rise of 3.8 mm yr21 at the end of the 21st century, which may have a detrimental effect on ecologically ... -
Fossil pollen and spores as a tool for reconstructing ancient solar-ultraviolet irradiance received by plants: an assessment of prospects and challenges using proxy-system modelling
Seddon, Alistair; Festi, Daniela; Robson, T. Matthew; Zimmermann, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–315 nm) constitutes less than 1% of the total solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface but has a disproportional impact on biological and ecological processes from the individual ... -
