The Himalayan region is not only threatened by rapid changes in anthropogenic activities
but also by global climate change. Given the uncertainties of magnitude and characteristics …

Abstract The Indo-Gangetic floodplains have many abandoned meander cut-offs and oxbow
lakes that can serve as potential archives for high-resolution paleoclimatic reconstruction …

Phytoliths, microscopic plant silica bodies, are often preserved in modern and fossil soils
and sediment, as well as in archaeological contexts. They record unique characteristics of …

The temporal vegetation development provides vital information for understanding past
climatic changes. In this study, we reconstruct vegetation dynamics from the last glacial …

Phytoliths preserved in soils and sediments can be used to provide unique insights into past
vegetation dynamics in response to human and climate change. Phytoliths can reconstruct …

Reconstructing changes in altitudinal vegetation belts is crucial for comprehending
vegetation response to past environmental changes in arid alpine regions, however, proxy …

We combine phytoliths, non-pollen palynomorphs, stable carbon isotopes of sediment
organic matter, environmental magnetic parameters and sediment texture data of a …

Grass silica short cell phytoliths (GSSCPs), which are profusely produced within the grasses
are often subfamily-specific and hence may act as one of the reliable plant proxies in …

Phytolith records have provided a new perspective on the reconstruction and interpretation
of palaeovegetation in forested regions. However, the reliability of phytolith records for …

Modern surface analogue dataset combining biotic and abiotic proxies (ie., pollen, phytolith,
diatom, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes of organic matter, soil geochemical and textural …
