Peat depositional environments, the sites where and conditions under which peat
accumulates, significantly influence a resultant coal's physical properties, chemical …

Terrestrial plant biomarkers and their carbon isotopes provide insights into carbon cycling,
paleovegetation and paleoclimate, ranging in scale from local to global. Over the past …

Long chain (C 21 to C 37) n-alkanes are among the most long-lived and widely utilized
terrestrial plant biomarkers. Dozens of studies have examined the range and variation of n …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids from Bacteria
and Archaea that are ubiquitous in a range of natural archives and especially abundant in …

Molecular fossils (biomarkers) are abundant in organic rich natural archives such as peats
and lignites (fossilized peat), where their distribution is governed by their biological source …

The use of testate amoebae in studies of peatland hydrology and palaeohydrology has been
increasing, and considerable efforts have been made over the past decade to standardise …

Lipid biomarkers extracted from a peat core obtained from the northeast edge of the Tibetan
Plateau have provided a 13 kyr record of regional climate change. A period of warmer …

Peat, especially from acidic mires (bogs), is a natural archive of past environmental change.
Reconstructions of past climate from bogs commenced in the 19th Century through …

The peat sequence at Hani in northeastern China accumulated over the past 16calkyr in a
percolation mire in which rain water and ground water seeped through the peat system. The …
