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 ...
