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

Lakes systems respond physically, chemically and biologically to changes in climate and
these responses are registered in many various ways in lake sediment records. This paper …

The basic requirements for diatom analysis have changed little over the last few decades in
terms of sampling, slide preparation, microscopy and taxonomy but, on the other hand, there …

In the last decade, palaeolimnology has shifted emphasis from being a predominantly
qualitative, descriptive subject to being a quantitative, analytical science with the potential to …

Abstract Knowledge of natural long-term rainfall variability is essential for water-resource
and land-use management in sub-humid regions of the world. In tropical Africa, data …

We quantified the relationships between diatom relative abundance and water conductivity
and ionic composition, using a dataset of 3239 benthic diatom samples collected from 1109 …

Quantitative reconstructions of past environmental conditions (eg, pH) are an important part
of palaeolimnology. Such reconstructions involve three steps:(1) the development of a …

The simple or classical ordination methods mostly used by palaeoecologists and
palaeolimnologists are principal component analysis (PCA) and correspondence analysis …

This study presents results from a multi-proxy analysis of cores taken in a crater-lake
sequence from Eski Acigöl in centr-al Turkey which cover the period from pre-c. 16000 cal …

This study investigates the distribution of modern pollen assemblages in the Qinghai-
Tibetan Plateau, China, based on surface soil samples collected at 1202 sites along an …
