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

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.
