Roots, Tissues, Cells and Fragments—How to Characterize Peat from Drained and Rewetted Fens
Soil Systems, 2020 We present analyses of macroscopic and microscopic remains as a tool to characterise sedge fen peats. We use it to describe peat composition and stages of peat decomposition, to assess the success of rewetting of a formerly drained fen, and to understand

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Using Annual Resolution Pollen Analysis to Synchronize Varve and Tree-Ring Records
Quaternary, 2019 Fossil wood and varved lake sediments allow proxy analysis with exceptionally high, (sub-)annual resolution. Both archives provide dating through ring and layer counting, yet with different accuracy.

Geographically weighted models in palaeoecology: R package and application to testate amoebae in peatlands [PDF]
Web EcologyTransfer function (TF) models are commonly used in palaeoecology for quantitative inference of environmental variables based on biological proxies. Although the existence of spatial structure is well established in ecology, existing TFs do not account ...
