• DETECTING DIFFERENCES IN VEGETATION AMONG PAIRED SITES USING POLLEN RECORDS 

  Sugita Sh.; Parshall T.; Calcote R. (2006)

  The ‘Qualitative Assessment of Difference’ method (QAD) is proposed to objectively detect differences in the relative abundance of vegetation between paired sites using pollen percentages. This method corrects for ...
• LATE-HOLOCENE VEGETATION AND FIRE HISTORY FROM FERRY LAKE, NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN, USA 

  Lynch E.A.; Calcote R.; Hotchkiss S. (2006)

  We used charcoal and fossil pollen to investigate how fire, vegetation and climate have interacted over the past 2300 years at Ferry Lake, located on a sand plain in northwestern Wisconsin. Pollen analysis shows a rapid ...
• HOLOCENE PALAEOENVIRONMENTS AND CHANGE AT THREE-QUARTER MILE LAKE, SILVER PLAINS STATION, CAPE YORK PENINSULA, AUSTRALIA 

  Luly J.G.; Grindrod J.F.; Penny D. (2006)

  Pollen and diatom analyses of organic sediments from Three-Quarter Mile Lake, a perched lake on Cape York Peninsula, north Queensland, indicate that significant changes in vegetation and hydrology occurred during the ...
• FIRE-FUEL-CLIMATE LINKAGES IN THE NORTHWESTERN USA DURING THE HOLOCENE 

  Marlon J.; Bartlein P.J.; Whitlock C. (2006)

  Variations in fire regimes can be inferred from changes in the abundance of sedimentary charcoal found in lake and bog sediments. When analysed with pollen data, inferences can be made about past vegetation dynamics and ...
• MIDDLE-TO LATE-HOLOCENE MOISTURE CHANGES IN THE DESERT OF NORTHWEST NAMIBIA DERIVED FROM FOSSIL HYRAX DUNG POLLEN 

  Gil-Romera G.; Scott L.; Marais E.; Brook G.A. (2006)
