Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands. Our database consists 268 cores 215 sites located north 45°N. It encompasses regions within which data have only recently become available, such as West Siberia Lowlands, Hudson Bay Kamchatka in Far East Russia, Tibetan Plateau. For all peatlands, content organic matter was estimated at 42 ± 3% (standard deviation)...
• Analysis of brGDGT distributions in global peat dataset. Correlation with pH and mean annual air temperature. Development peat-specific temperature proxies. Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids from Bacteria Archaea that ubiquitous a range natural archives especially abundant peat. Previous work demonstrated the distribution bacterial branched GDGTs (brGDGTs) mineral soils is correlated to environmental factors such as (MAAT) soil pH. However,...
Summary Priority question exercises are becoming an increasingly common tool to frame future agendas in conservation and ecological science. They effective way identify research foci that advance the field also have high policy relevance. To date, there has been no coherent synthesis of key questions priority areas for palaeoecology, which combines biological, geochemical molecular techniques order reconstruct past environmental systems on time‐scales from decades millions years. We adapted...
Summary Soil photoautotrophic prokaryotes and micro‐eukaryotes – known as soil algae are, together with heterotrophic microorganisms, a constitutive part of the microbiome in surface soils. Similar to plants, they fix atmospheric carbon (C) through photosynthesis for their own growth, yet contribution global regional biogeochemical C cycling still remains quantitatively elusive. Here, we compiled an extensive dataset on generate better understanding distribution across biomes predict...
In the decade since first pan-European testate amoeba-based transfer function for peatland palaeohydrological reconstruction was published, a vast amount of additional data collection has been undertaken by research community. Here, we expand dataset from 128 to 1799 samples, spanning 35° latitude and 55° longitude. After development new taxonomic scheme permit compilation wide range contributors removal samples with high pH values, developed ecological functions using model types ∼1300...
Abstract. Wildfire occurrence is influenced by climate, vegetation and human activities. A key challenge for understanding the risk of fires quantifying mediating effect on fire regimes. Here, we explore relative importance Holocene land cover, use, dominant functional forest type, climate dynamics biomass burning in temperate boreo-nemoral regions central eastern Europe over past 12 kyr. We used an extensive data set pollen sedimentary charcoal records, combination with simulations...
Ecosystems are increasingly prone to climate extremes, such as drought, with long-lasting effects on both plant and soil communities and, subsequently, carbon (C) cycling. However, recent studies underlined the strong variability in ecosystem's response droughts, raising issue of nonlinear responses communities. The conundrum is what causes ecosystems shift drought. Here, we investigated fungi drought different intensities using a water table gradient peatlands-a major C sink ecosystem....
Abstract The Black Death (1347–1352 ce ) is the most renowned pandemic in human history, believed by many to have killed half of Europe’s population. However, despite advances ancient DNA research that conclusively identified pandemic’s causative agent (bacterium Yersinia pestis ), our knowledge remains limited, based primarily on qualitative remarks medieval written sources available for some areas Western Europe. Here, we remedy this situation applying a pioneering new approach, ‘big data...
Abstract High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba data from 103 high-latitude peat archives. We show that 54% of have been drying and 32% wetting over this period, illustrating complex ecohydrological dynamics high latitude their highly uncertain responses a warming climate.
Proxy-based reconstructions of climate variability over the last millennium provide important insights for understanding current change within a long-term context. Past hydrological changes are particularly difficult to reconstruct, yet rainfall patterns and among most critical environmental variables. Ombrotrophic bogs, entirely dependent on water from precipitation sensitive in balance between evapotranspiration, highly suitable such hydro-climate reconstructions. We present multi-proxy...
Peat deposits from an ombrotrophic bog (north-eastern Poland) were analysed to reconstruct peatland development and environmental changes. This paper presents reconstructions of hydrological changes plant succession over the last 6000 years. The methods included high-resolution analysis macrofossils, pollen testate amoebae, supported by radiocarbon dating. Three main phases identified in history surrounding woodland vegetation: 4000–400 BC, 400 BC–AD 1700 AD 1700–2011. Except for...
