Approaches to pollen taxonomic harmonisation in Quaternary palynology
Birks, Harry John Betteley; Bhatta, Kuber Prasad; Felde, Vivian Astrup; Flantua, Suzette; Mottl, Ondrej; Haberle, Simon G.; Herbert, Annika; Hooghiemstra, Henry; Birks, Hilary H; Grytnes, John Arvid; Seddon, Alistair William Robin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Pollen taxonomic harmonisation involves the standardisation of the nomenclature of pollen and fern spores with similar morphotypes at the determination level that is common to all grains or spores with that morphotype ... -
Did the Eurasian ice sheets melt completely in early Marine Isotope Stage 3? New evidence from Norway and a synthesis for Eurasia
Mangerud, Jan; Alexanderson, Helena; Birks, Hilary H; Paus, Aage; Perić, Zoran M.; Svendsen, John Inge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We describe glaci-lacustrine sediments buried under thick tills in Folldalen, south-east Norway, a site located close to the former centre of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. Thus, the location implies that the ice sheet had ... -
Exploring spatio-temporal patterns of palynological changes in Asia during the Holocene
Bhatta, Kuber Prasad; Mottl, Ondrej; Felde, Vivian Astrup; Flantua, Suzette; Birks, Hilary H; Cao, Xianyong; Chen, Fahu; Grytnes, John Arvid; Seddon, Alistair William Robin; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-05)Historical legacies influence present-day ecosystem composition and dynamics. It is therefore important to understand the long-term dynamics of ecosystems and their properties. Analysis of ecosystem properties during the ... -
A guide to the processing and standardization of global palaeoecological data for large-scale syntheses using fossil pollen
Flantua, Suzette; Mottl, Ondrej; Felde, Vivian Astrup; Bhatta, Kuber Prasad; Birks, Hilary H; Grytnes, John Arvid; Seddon, Alistair William Robin; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aim: Palaeoecological data are crucial for comprehending large-scale biodiversity patterns and the natural and anthropogenic drivers that influence them over time. Over the last decade, the availability of open-access ... -
Modern pollen–vegetation relationships in traditionally mown and unmanaged boreal rich-fen communities in central Norway
Fjordheim, Kristine; Moen, Asbjørn; Hjelle, Kari Loe; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth; Birks, Hilary H (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04)Knowledge of the relationship between vegetation and modern pollen deposition is necessary to improve the interpretation of fossil pollen samples. We compared the cover of plant species and the modern pollen deposition in ... -
The timing of deglaciation and the sequence of pioneer vegetation at Ringsaker, eastern Norway – and an earthquake-triggered landslide
Mangerud, Jan; Birks, Hilary H; Halvorsen, Lene Synnøve; Hughes, Anna L.C.; Nashoug, Ole; Nystuen, Johan Petter; Paus, Aage; Sørensen, Rolf; Svendsen, John-Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)We describe a sediment sequence comprising a thick till covered by thin beds of lacustrine sediments containing pollen and plant macrofossils derived from pioneer vegetation. Four consistent radiocarbon dates on terrestrial ... -
Using species attributes to characterize late-glacial and early-Holocene environments at Kråkenes, western Norway
Felde, Vivian Astrup; Birks, Hilary H (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-16)Aim: We aim to use species attributes such as distributions and indicator values to reconstruct past biomes, environment, and temperatures from detailed plant‐macrofossil data covering the late glacial to the early Holocene ... -
The Würmian Late-Glacial and early-Holocene vegetation and environment of Gourds des Aillères in the Monts du Forez (Massif Central, France) based on pollen and macrofossil evidence
Bos, Johanna A.A.; Birks, Hilary H; van der Knaap, Willem O.; van Leeuwen, Jacqueline F.N.; Janssen, C.R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Although there is a long history of palaeoecological investigation in the Massif Central, detailed reconstruction of the flora, vegetation, and environment in the Late Pleniglacial, the Würmian (Weichselian) Late-Glacial, ...
