Plant Macrofossils Reveal Aquatic Macrophyte Successions of a Typical Shallow Lake (Huanggai Lake, China) in the Past Century [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Aquatic macrophytes are one of the important biotic components of shallow lake ecosystems. Understanding the long-term evolution of the macrophyte community is crucial for lake management.

Neogene plant macrofossils from West Antarctica reveal persistence of Nothofagaceae forests into the early Miocene [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe extinction of woody vegetation in Antarctica remains difficult to constrain due to its fragmented macrofossil record. Despite its long-standing polar position, Antarctica hosted extensive vegetation throughout the Paleogene.

Characterisation of Holocene plant macrofossils from North Spanish ombrotrophic mires: bryophytes [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2017 The methods and criteria used for the identification of bryophytes from the peat deposits of four ombrotrophic mires in northern Spain are presented. Two liverworts and fifteen moss taxa were recorded.

Radiocarbon dating suitability of aquatic plant macrofossils
Journal of Paleolimnology, 2014 Paleolimnological and plant physiological literature were reviewed to determine which types of aquatic plant macrofossils are suitable for radiocarbon dating, with a particular focus on the uptake of reservoir-aged dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) by emergent plants. Submerged aquatic plants utilize large amounts of DIC and are clearly not suitable for

A protocol for plant macrofossil analysis of peat deposits [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2010 Analyses of plant macrofossils can be used to reconstruct the development of the local vegetation on peatlands, and thus to elucidate successional processes.

Late pleistocene exploitation of Ephedra in a funerary context in Morocco [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe active compounds found in many plants have been widely used in traditional medicine and ritual activities. However, archaeological evidence for the use of such plants, especially in the Palaeolithic period, is limited due to the poor preservation and

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 ...
