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

Lake sediments constitute natural archives of past environmental changes. Historically,
research has focused mainly on generating regional climate records, but records of human …

This book is primarily written for ecologists needing to analyse data resulting from field
observations and experiments. It will be particularly useful for students and researchers …

This revised and updated edition focuses on constrained ordination (RDA, CCA), variation
partitioning and the use of permutation tests of statistical hypotheses about multivariate data …

Ecologists need to analyze their field data to interpret relationships within plant and animal
communities and with their environments. The purpose of this book is to show ecologists …

Publisher Summary The theory of gradient analysis is presented in this chapter, in which the
heuristic techniques are integrated with regression, calibration, ordination and constrained …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

A index for monitoring the trophic status of rivers based on diatom composition (‚trophic
diatom index', TDI) has been developed, in response to the National Rivers Authority …

Palaeolimnological diatom data comprise counts of many species expressed as
percentages for each sample. Reconstruction of past lake-water pH from such data involves …

The ecology of world vegetation is described in numer all of the drafting and photographic
work. They have ous books and journals, but these are usually very spe spent many hours …
