Salt marshes, most now embanked, together with genetically related wetlands and high
intertidal flats, make a major environmental contribution to the lowland coasts of Northwest …

Testate amoebae (also referred to as rhizopods, thecamoebians and arcellaceans) are
single-celled organisms in which the cytoplasm is enclosed within an external shell (the …

Climate warming and human impacts are thought to be causing peatlands to dry, potentially
converting them from sinks to sources of carbon. However, it is unclear whether the …

Testate amoebae are an abundant and diverse polyphyletic group of shelled protozoa living
in aquatic to moist habitats ranging from estuaries to lakes, rivers, wetlands, soils, litter, and …

We present evidence from a variety of physical and biological proxies for a severe drought
that affected the mid-continent of North America between 4.1 and 4.3 ka. Rapid climate …

Peat humification or decomposition is a frequently used proxy to extract past time changes in
hydrology and climate from peat bogs. During the past century several methods to determine …

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 …

In the decade since the first pan-European testate amoeba-based transfer function for
peatland palaeohydrological reconstruction was published, a vast amount of additional data …

Late Quaternary Environmental Change addresses the interaction between human agency
and other environmental factors in the landscapes, particularly of the temperate zone …

Proxies such as plant macrofossils, humification indices and testate amoebae have been
developed to reconstruct past hydrological variability in ombrotrophic peatlands …
