Ascertaining the nature and timing of mire degradation : using palaeoecology to assist future conservation management in Northern England [PDF]

, 2017
This study was initiated under contract VT0419 from English Nature (Natural England) to CECQR. In 2015, additional funding was provided by the Yorkshire Peat Partnership, for 210Pb dating, to refine age–depth estimates.

Differentiating hyperpycnal, hypopycnal and turbidity current deposits in late Quaternary glaciogenic mud

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
X‐ray CT and microscopic analysis of glaciogenic mud provide insight into the deposits of sediment‐laden density flows and reveal that strata comprise two microtextural motifs. The deposits of bottom‐hugging hyperpycnal flows and slope‐failure‐related turbidity currents are characterised by laterally continuous, sharply bounded silt‐rich and clay‐rich ...

Macrofossils as indicators of Plio-Pleistocene climates in Tasmania and Antarctica [PDF]

, 1996
Plant macrofossils can be used as proxy palaeoclimatic indicators, since both the taxa present at a site and the form ofleaves depend on the climate, and macrofossils are rarely transported far.

Sedimentary records of palaeohydrological variability during the Late Holocene in the Lower Narmada Basin, western India

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Late Holocene palaeohydrological changes in the lower Narmada Basin, India, revealed using multiproxy analyses of the Orsang River terrace sediments. Distinct depositional phases corresponding to global climatic events were recorded. High‐magnitude floods in the Narmada River during the MWP, and within the tributary Orsang River during DACP and LIA ...

On the taxonomic resolution of pollen and spore records of Earth’s vegetation [PDF]

, 2014
Premise of research. Pollen and spores (sporomorphs) are a valuable record of plant life and have provided information on subjects ranging from the nature and timing of evolutionary events to the relationship between vegetation and climate.

Oaks and Climate Change: Contrasting Range Responses of Mediterranean and Temperate Quercus Species in the Western Palearctic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We analyzed past and future range dynamics of six oak (Quercus) species across the western Palearctic using ecological niche models, reconstructing distributions for the Last Glacial Maximum, the present, and two future scenarios. Quantitative metrics of centroid shifts, range limits, and area change revealed that temperate and transition‐zone species ...

An early Little Ice Age brackish water invasion along the south coast of the Caspian Sea (sediment of Langarud wetland) and its wider impacts on environment and people [PDF]

, 2015
Caspian Sea level has undergone significant changes through time with major impacts not only on the surrounding coasts, but also offshore. This study reports a brackish water invasion on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea constructed from a multi ...

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

Seed fossil record of Solanaceae revisited

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, Febuary 2026.
Abstract The fossil record for Solanaceae has a complex taxonomic history, with many species originally described in the family being subsequently shown to belong in other plant families. In this work, we present an in‐depth analysis of the nightshade seed fossil record, which corresponds to the largest amount of fossil material for the family.

Reconstructing Environmental and Microbial Ecosystem Changes Across the Permian–Triassic Mass Extinction at Lusitaniadalen, Svalbard

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Permian–Triassic environmental crisis triggered fundamental changes in marine ecosystems, culminating in the most severe biodiversity crisis of the Phanerozoic. Yet, the environmental and geochemical conditions governing the crisis and ecosystem recovery remain debated.
