Abstract A blocked tributary has provided a rare site of long‐term sediment accumulation in montane southeastern Australia. This yielded continuous, detailed pollen record through the last ca. 140 000 years and revealed marked vegetation environmental changes at orbital to sub‐millennial scales. Radiocarbon optically stimulated luminescence (OSL, or optical) ages provide some chronological control for 70 years. Most is inorganic but with well preserved that accumulated under unproductive...
Abstract Few investigations link post‐fire changes to sediment sources and erosion processes with yield response at the catchment scale. This linkage is essential if downstream impacts on transport after fire are be understood in context of effects across different forest environments. In this study, we quantify changing source contributions fine (<63 µm) exported from a eucalypt (136 ha) burnt by wildfire. The study one pair research catchments located East Kiewa River valley...
Abstract Aim To assess the long‐term impacts of landscape fire on a mosaic pyrophobic and pyrogenic woody montane vegetation. Location South‐west T asmania, A ustralia. Methods We undertook high‐resolution multiproxy palaeoecological analysis sediments deposited in L ake O sborne ( H artz M ountains N ational P ark, southern asmania), employing analyses pollen, macroscopic microscopic charcoal, organic inorganic geochemistry magnetic susceptibility. Results Sequential fires within study...
Abstract Branched glycerol dialkyl tetraether (GDGT) distributions observed in a sediment core from Lake McKenzie were utilized to quantitatively reconstruct the pattern of mean annual air temperature (MAAT) coastal subtropical eastern Australia between 37 and 18.3 cal ka BP 14.0 present. Both reconstructed trend amplitude MAAT changes top nearly identical local instrumental record Fraser Island, providing confidence that this branched GDGTs could be used produce quantitative past MAAT. The...
Coastal habitats including saltmarshes and mangrove forests can accumulate store significant blue carbon stocks, which may persist for millennia. Despite this implied stability, the distribution structure of intertidal-supratidal wetlands are known to respond changes imposed by geomorphic evolution, climatic, sea level, anthropogenic influences. In study, we reconstruct environmental histories biogeochemical conditions in four similar contemporary vegetation SE Australia. The objective is...
The nature and cause of the so-called 2.8 kyr BP event have been a subject much debate. Peat sequences provided evidence for this event, but process link between climate peatland response is not well understood. Multiproxy, high-resolution analysis core from Bargerveen in eastern Netherlands based on pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, testate amoebae geochemistry identified an abrupt shift relatively dry to extremely wet conditions. Radiocarbon-based wiggle-match dating (WMD) biostratigraphy...
Abstract We present a reconstruction of the vegetation history last glacial–interglacial cycle (ca. 75 k cal. yr BP–present) at Redhead Lagoon, an enclosed lake basin in coastal, eastern New South Wales, Australia. The sequence change site is broadly comparable with pattern climatically induced changes observed many other pollen records southeast Open woodland–herbland and woodland–forest communities correspond glacial interglacial periods respectively, additional towards more open...
Abstract Critical transitions in ecosystem states are often sudden and unpredictable. Consequently, there is a concerted effort to identify measurable early warning signals (EWS) for these important events. Aquatic ecosystems provide an opportunity observe critical due their high sensitivity rapid response times. Using palaeoecological techniques, we can measure properties of time series data determine if preceded by any metrics, that is, EWS. suite palaeoenvironmental spanning the last...
