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.

Characterisation of Holocene plant macrofossils from North Spanish ombrotrophic mires: vascular plants [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2016 Methods and criteria that were used to identify plant macrofossils from four ombrotrophic mires in northern Spain are presented. Twelve monocotyledon and ten dicotyledon species were recorded.

New insights into postglacial vegetation dynamics and environmental conditions of Península Avellaneda, southwest Patagonia, revealed by plant macrofossils and pollen analysis [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2018 Reconstruction of the history of past events becomes more objective when considering an increased number of possible indicators. Combining plant macrofossil analysis with pollen analysis has the potential to give a more detailed picture of the ...

The untapped potential of macrofossils in ancient plant DNA research
New Phytologist, 2022 SummaryThe rapid development of ancient DNA analysis in the last decades has induced a paradigm shift in ecology and evolution. Driven by a combination of breakthroughs in DNA isolation techniques, high‐throughput sequencing, and bioinformatics, ancient genome‐scale data for a rapidly growing variety of taxa are now available, allowing researchers to ...

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

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
