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 ... -
Pollen-chemistry variations along elevation gradients and their implications for a proxy for UV-B radiation in the plant-fossil record
Seddon, Alistair William Robin; Festi, Daniela; Nieuwkerk, Mayke; Gya, Ragnhild; Hamre, Børge; Krüger, Linn Cecilie; Hjortland Östman, Silje Andrea; Robson, T. Matthew (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Research indicates that phenolic compounds (e.g. para-coumaric acid) found within pollen grains may be useful as a proxy to reconstruct the UV-B radiation received at the Earth's surface in the geological past. However, ...
