Lakes systems respond physically, chemically and biologically to changes in climate and
these responses are registered in many various ways in lake sediment records. This paper …

Multi-proxy studies are becoming increasingly common in palaeolimnology. Eight basic
requirements and challenges for a multi-proxy study are outlined in this essay–definition of …

Now in its second edition, Pollution of Lakes and Rivers provides essential insights into
present-day water quality problems from an international perspective. Explains simply and …

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

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Plant macrofossils can enhance the information from pollen analysis in treeless situations.
They can often be identified with greater taxonomic precision than pollen, and they tend to …

The simple or classical ordination methods mostly used by palaeoecologists and
palaeolimnologists are principal component analysis (PCA) and correspondence analysis …

Quantitative reconstructions of past environmental conditions (eg, pH) are an important part
of palaeolimnology. Such reconstructions involve three steps:(1) the development of a …

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

Non-biting midges (Insecta: Diptera: Chironomidae) are now widely recognised as powerful
biological proxies for inferring past climatic change. In this paper the response of chironomid …
