Interpretation of the herbaceous pollen spectra in paleoecological reconstructions: A spatial extension of Indices of Association and determination of individual pollen source areas from binary data
2020, Review of Palaeobotany and PalynologyCitation Excerpt :However, an increasingly important role for applied paleoecology is the evaluation of local-scale ecological change over recent centuries (Rull, 2014). This application of paleoecology provides essential information for nature conservation (e.g., Birks, 1993; Odgaard, 1999; Shaw and Tipping, 2006; Feeser and O'Connell, 2009; Fredh et al., 2012; Shaw and Whyte, 2013). Studies of this type need to contribute information on past ecological community structure and temporal shifts in species presence (as reviewed in Seddon et al., 2014), often at the limit of the taxonomic and interpretive resolution of paleoecology.
Questioning the reliability of “ancient” woodland indicators: Resilience to interruptions and persistence following deforestation
2018, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :The site is covered by broadleaved woodland dominated by Q. petrea and is noted for its bryophyte community. Palynological investigation of a short core taken from a woodland hollow by Birks (1993) showed that the site supported mixed deciduous woodland prior to 140 Cal. BP (basal date unknown; 12 cm of sediment accumulation <140 Cal.
Ecological palaeoecology in the neotropical Gran Sabana region: Long-term records of vegetation dynamics as a basis for ecological hypothesis testing
2013, Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and SystematicsCitation Excerpt :Long-term ecological studies are needed to record community dynamics over time and to understand properly the underlying ecological processes and environmental drivers that come into play, and to inform conservation practices (Birks, 1993, 2008, 2013; Huntley, 1996; Jackson, 2001; Willis et al., 2007, 2010; Vegas-Vilarrúbia et al., 2011; Rull, 2010c, 2012).
Increasing taxonomic resolution in pollen identification: Sample size, spatial sampling bias and implications for palaeoecology
2012, Review of Palaeobotany and PalynologyCitation Excerpt :Devising techniques for species-level pollen identification in fossil records is important for revealing the individual responses of species to climate change on long timescales, enhancing the taxonomic resolution of community-level reconstructions of vegetation change, and constraining palaeoenvironmental inferences (Birks, 1993; Seppä and Bennett, 2003; Finkelstein et al., 2006).
Morphological differentiation of Alnus (alder) pollen from western North America
2012, Review of Palaeobotany and PalynologyCitation Excerpt :The broad utility of fossil pollen analysis relies on accurate and precise pollen identification, and these identifications assume spatial and temporal stability in pollen morphology. However, fossil pollen records often suffer from low taxonomic resolution due to the difficulty in identifying many pollen types beyond the family or generic level (Birks, 1993; Seppä and Bennett, 2003). Given the large ecological differences between species within genera and between genera within plant families, low taxonomic resolution constrains the paleoecological and paleoenvironmental inferences that can be drawn from fossil pollen analysis.
