Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Records of past climate variability and associated vegetation response exist in various

This paper presents an artistic paleolandscape experiment based primarily on recent
palynological data from the Paleolithic site of Pešturina, in the Central Balkans of Serbia …

Macroscopic charcoal records can be used to infer spatially explicit reconstructions of past
fire history. However, a current deficiency in the charcoal-analysis toolbox has been the lack …

Fire is recognized as a critical process with significant impacts on biota and the atmosphere.
In this study, 11 micro-and macrocharcoal sedimentary records extracted from peat bogs …
