PALEOLIMNOLOGY AND THE FRONTIERS OF BIOGEOGRAPHY

摘要: For almost a century biogeographers have used paleoecological methods, including tree-ring, pollen, macrofossil, and charcoal analysis, to reconstruct climate environmental conditions for the late Quaternary, but paleolimnological proxies approaches provide new opportunities biogeographers. In last two decades, paleolimnology has grown rapidly as result of several technical advancements: (1) development proxies, (2) improved coring, sampling, dating techniques that finer temporal resolution, (3) more sophisticated statistical greater computing power, which allow enhanced quantitative calibration signals from proxies. These advances led plethora research projects, many using novel approaches, on change, anthropogenic impacts, conservation restoration, aquatic/terrestrial links, resource management, succession, biodiversity, introduced species. Paleolimnologists are wor...
