We present the first European network of tree ring δ 13 C and 18 O, containing 23 sites from Finland to Morocco. Common climate signals are found over broad climatic‐ecological ranges. In temperate regions we find positive correlations with summer maximum temperatures negative precipitation Palmer Drought Severity Indices (PDSI) no obvious species‐specific differences. Regional O chronologies share high common variance in year‐to‐year variations. Long‐term variations, however, exhibit...
The Holocene delivers a unique possibility to establish climatic stratigraphic boundaries based on detailed chronostratigraphy reflected in various facies of continental sediments, their lithological parameters and organic remains. These sediments are dated by the 14C method case remains, counting annual laminations lacustrine facies, dendrochronological fluvial sediments. existence well profiles enables reconstruct like amplitudes seasonal temperatures, types frequency extreme rainfalls...
Abstract Aim The aim was to decipher Europe‐wide spatio‐temporal patterns of forest growth dynamics and their associations with carbon isotope fractionation processes inferred from tree rings as modulated by climate warming. Location Europe North Africa (30‒70° N, 10° W‒35° E). Time period 1901‒2003. Major taxa studied Temperate Euro‐Siberian trees. Methods We characterize changes in the relationship between over 20th century using a European network consisting 20 site chronologies. Using...
Air pollution emissions were not continually monitored in the Upper Silesian Industrial District (USID), southern Poland, and data is only available for last 20 years. Long-lasting severe tree ring reductions pines growing 5-20 km north of USID area recorded particularly high levels air period 1950-1990. Especially amounts many missing rings found 1964-1981. At same time, 60 west do record deep reductions; this proves that phenomenon a regional nature. Increases infant mortality lung,...
Chironomid (Diptera: Chironomidae) larvae play an important role in a wide range of aquatic ecosystems. The study focuses on Chironomidae trophic guilds and morphological types as indicator traits reconstructions habitat changes shallow water bodies. Mentum ventromental plates are mouthparts whose shape depends food type feeding behavior. strongly vary the mode life habits, representing almost every group. Here we classified mentum into 16 groups tested if they indicated similar past...
The Hidex 300 SL is a liquid scintillation analyzer with an automatic sample changer and triple-photomultiplier tube detection assembly that registers triple- as well double-coincidence spectra. In the triple mode, background in 14 C window 13.7 cpm ( standard 30.8 cpm; =154.3 cpm/5.01), so factor of merit equals 8.7. triple-to-double coincidence ratio (TDCR) allows for determining counting efficiency, quench level, correction. However, case very low-activity samples, which even modern TDCR...
This paper presents a palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the Wilczków fen (central Poland). The developed in an inactive valley at onset Holocene (~11 ka BP) and peat accumulation lasted until 5.7 BP. Multi‐proxy reconstructions were made on basis palaeobotanical, cladoceran, chironomid, beetle geochemical analyses. A Kohonen self‐organizing map ( SOM , unsupervised artificial neural network) biotic sequence distinguished four stages history. Stage X 1 (11.0–10.7 was relatively wet cool....
Dating of alluvia large rivers based on subfossil tree trunks is discussed using examples from the Vistula Valley near Kraków and literature referring to Central Europe. The method, which has been used hitherto for dating exclusively single or generations, led usually erroneous results because majority in were redeposited. Den drochronology helpful solving problems alluvia, should use only situ trunks, i.e., with bark, sapwood branches. Equally suitable materials are stumps growth position,...
Abstract The paper presents the results of a palaeoecological study Neolithic archaeological layers from wetland, multilayer site, Serteya II (Western Russia). It contains, domestic structures, rich organic artefacts, skeletons, and ecofacts preserved within lacustrine deposits that are extremely important on European scale. We employed set specialised analyses accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating to identify principal environmental conditions which attracted...
The present study focuses on investigations carried out in the Late Vistulian succession of Warta River deposits (central Poland) which a horizon subfossil trees was excavated. Prelim-inary conclusions time record and past environmental conditions forest existence determined from radiocarbon dating, pollen analyses geological evidence appear promising with view tree-ring chronologies.
