• 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 ...
    • Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges 

      Birks, Harry John Betteley; Felde, Vivian Astrup; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth; Grytnes, John-Arvid; Seppä, Heikki; Giesecke, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)
      Current interest and debate on pollen-assemblage richness as a proxy for past plant richness have prompted us to review recent developments in assessing whether modern pollen-assemblage richness reflects contemporary ...
    • 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 ...
    • Rate-of-change analysis in palaeoecology revisited: a new approach 

      Mottl, Ondrej; Grytnes, John Arvid; Seddon, Alistair William Robin; Steinbauer, Manuel; Bhatta, Kuber Prasad; Felde, Vivian Astrup; Flantua, Suzette; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Dynamics in the rate of compositional change (rate-of-change; RoC), preserved in paleoecological sequences, are thought to reflect changes due to exogenous (climate and human forcing) or endogenous (local dynamics and ...
