We present a new gridded climate reconstruction for Europe for the last 12,000 years based
on pollen data. The reconstruction is an update of Davis et al.(2003) using the same …

A prominent, abrupt climate event about 8200 years ago brought generally cold and dry
conditions to broad northern-hemisphere regions especially in wintertime, in response to a …

Subfossil pollen and plant macrofossil data derived from 14 C-dated sediment profiles can
provide quantitative information on glacial and interglacial climates. The data allow climate …

Quantitative reconstructions from biological proxies have revolutionised palaeolimnology
but the methodology is not without problems. The most important of these result from …

On the basis of glacier and lake-level records, this paper attempts, for the first time, a
comparison between high-resolution palaeohydrological and palaeoglaciological data in …

The importance of reconstructing past environments quantitatively in palaeoecology is
reviewed by showing that many ecological questions asked of palaeoecological data …

Over recent decades, palaeolimnological records from remote sites have provided
convincing evidence for the onset and development of several facets of global …

The frequency of large-scale heavy precipitation events in the European Alps is expected to
undergo substantial changes with current climate change. Hence, knowledge about the past …

Abstract The European Alps are highly rich in species, but their future may be threatened by
ongoing changes in human land use and climate. Here, we reconstructed vegetation …

Paleoecology can provide valuable insights into the ecology of species that complement
observation and experiment‐based assessments of climate impact dynamics. New …
