Production and preservation of organic carbon in sub-seafloor tephra layers
(Elsevier, 2024-01)The deposition of volcanic ash into the ocean initiates a range of chemical and biological reactions. During diagenesis, these reactions may enhance the preservation of organic carbon (OC) in marine sediments, which ... -
Leaf thermal regulation strategies of canopy species across four vegetation types along a temperature and precipitation gradient
(Elsevier BV, 2023-12-15)The ecophysiological processes of leaves are more related to leaf temperature (Tl) than air temperature (Ta). Transpiration and leaf physical traits enable plants to maintain Tl within a thermal range. However, it is ... -
Restoration management of phosphorus pollution on lowland fen peatlands: A data evidence review from the Somerset Levels and Moors
(Elsevier BV, 2023-09)Eutrophication of wetlands caused by urban, industrial and agricultural run-off is an important environmental problem. Eutrophication is characterized by excessive plant and algal growth due to the increased availability ... -
Evaluating the Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates using the REVEALS model: a case study from the cultural landscape in Shandong, China
(Frontiers MediaSwitzerland, 2023-11-07)The Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm (LRA) is regarded as the soundest approach for quantifying taxon-specific plant cover from pollen data. The reliability of relative pollen productivity (RPP) estimates is fundamental ... -
Chemical speciation of sediment phosphorus in a Ramsar wetland
(Elsevier BV, 2023-09)Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient, which at excessive concentrations can cause eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems. In freshwater wetlands, water quality deteriorates under these conditions, often succumbing to ... -

Did the Bronze Age deforestation of Europe affect its climate? A regional climate model study using pollen-based land cover reconstructions
(Copernicus GmbH, 2023-07-27)Abstract. This paper studies the impact of land use and land cover change (LULCC) on the climate around 2500 years ago (2.5 ka), a period of rapid transitions across the European landscape. One global climate model was ... -
Restoration management of phosphorus pollution on lowland fen peatlands: A data evidence review from the Somerset Levels and Moors.
(Elsevier, 2023-09-01)Eutrophication of wetlands caused by urban, industrial and agricultural run-off is an important environmental problem. Eutrophication is characterized by excessive plant and algal growth due to the increased availability ... -
Green growth and competitiveness in EU climate policy: paradigm shift or 'plus de la même chose'?
(Edward Elgar Publishing, 2023-07-14)This chapter examines how green growth and competitiveness considerations inform EU climate policy and politics. Since the early 1970s, EU policy discourse has emphasised ‘win-win’ narratives in which pro-environmental ...
