Ascertaining the nature and timing of mire degradation: using palaeoecology to assist future conservation management in Northern England [PDF]
AIMS Environmental Science, 2017 Large areas of upland mire and moorland in Northwest Europe are regarded as degraded, not actively peat-forming, and releasing carbon. Conservation agencies have short-term targets to restore such areas, but often have no clear knowledge of the timing ...

Practitioner perspectives on the application of palaeoecology in nature conservation
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 It is widely recognised that palaeoecology holds great potential to inform and support nature conservation, but that there are difficulties in knowledge exchange between academia and practitioners that inhibit the operationalisation of research.

Exploring the Interface Between Planetary Boundaries and Palaeoecology. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolThe concepts of planetary boundaries are influential in the sustainability literature and assist in delineating the ‘safe operating spaces’ beyond which critical Earth system processes could collapse.

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2011 news and update ISSN 1948‐6596 sample points (hooks) and hundreds of millions of observations (fish caught). By stitching together several such datasets, and after correcting for variability in the data such as geographically un‐ evenly distributed effort, Tittensor and Worm were able to detect changes in range.

Island biodiversity conservation needs palaeoecology [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017 The discovery and colonization of islands by humans has invariably resulted in their widespread ecological transformation. The small and isolated populations of many island taxa, and their evolution in the absence of humans and their introduced taxa, mean that they are particularly vulnerable to human activities.

Palaeoclimate and fossil woods—is the use of mean sensitivity sensible? [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 The growth rings of fossil wood provide valuable data on tree ecology. As many of the parameters controlling width are climatic, it is tempting to use these rings as an indicator of climate.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The northward-flowing Humboldt Current hosts perpetually high levels of productivity along the western coast of South America. Here, we aim to elucidate the deep-time history of this globally important ecosystem based on a detailed palaeoecological ...
