Characterisation of Holocene plant macrofossils from North Spanish ombrotrophic mires: vascular plants [PDF]
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]
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
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 ...

Inferring Environmental Change in Estuaries from Plant Macrofossils [PDF]
Aquatic plants are critical components of estuarine ecosystems supporting biodiversity and a range of ecosystem services such as sediment stabilisation and denitrification. However, estuarine plants, similar to their freshwater counterparts, are in decline and under threat.

Interglacial pollen and plant macrofossils from Langdon River, western Tasmania [PDF]
summaryPollen and plant macrofossils from Langdon liner give an interglacial floral record for western Tasmania. The location of the site between the ice limits of the Last or Margaret Glaciation and the Penultimate or Henty Glaciation indicate that it cannot be younger than the Last Interglacial. The sequence of vegetation changes shows the succession

Plant macrofossils from the Shemshak Formation, Rudbar, western Alborz [PDF]
Plant macrofossils from the Shemshak Formation, Rudbar, western Alborz, collected at two distinct horizons, including horizon 1 (Koushk area) and horizon 2 (northern Rudbar), are examined to determine the relative age and sedimentary environments of the ...

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.
