- The Holocene history of Betula at Lake Iilompolo, Inari Lapland, northeastern Finland. Makela, E. // Holocene;Feb98, Vol. 8 Issue 1, p55
Betula pollen diameters were systematically measured in a series of Holocene sediment samples from a lake in the northern birch-forest region of eastern Finnish Lapland. The resulting size-frequency distributions were analysed statistically to infer the species identity of the birch populations...
- Postglacial trends in palynological richness in the northern Fennoscandian tree-line area and their ecological interpretation. Seppa, H. // Holocene;Feb98, Vol. 8 Issue 1, p43
The northern Fennoscandian tree-line area consists of fairly distinct vegetation zones. The pollen stratigraphies of two boreal sites and two tundra sites were studied and the palynological data analysed numerically. The main aim was to measure palynological richness, using rarefaction analysis,...
- The geomorphological evolution of the outskirts of Naples during the Holocene: a case study of the Bagnoli-Fuorigrotta depression. Calderoni, G.; Russo, F. // Holocene;Sep98, Vol. 8 Issue 5, p581
Lithostratigraphic analysis, geologic and geomorphologic surveys, and radiocarbon dating were carried out to elucidate the evolution of the Bagnoli-Fuorigrotta depression. The origin of the feature, located at the outskirts of Naples and confined between the ridge of Posillipo and the Agnano...
- Holocene development of the lower Mary River plains, Northern Territory, Australia. Mulrennan, M.E.; Woodroffe, C.D. // Holocene;Sep98, Vol. 8 Issue 5, p565
Extensive coastal and estuarine plains, associated with several large seasonal rivers, characterize the southern shore of van Diemen Gulf, Northern Territory, Australia. The Mary River is unique among these rivers in that, despite a catchment of 7700 km 2 , it fails to reach the sea as a...
- Geochemical evidence for Holocenepalaeodischarge variations in lacustrine records from the Westeifel Volcanic Field, Germany: Schalkenmehrener Maar and Meerfelder Maar. Schettler, G.; Rein, B.; Negendank, J.F.W. // Holocene;Jul99, Vol. 9 Issue 4, p381
Various chemical elements (Fe, Mn, U, Mo) can be transported in both dissolved and solid form and then deposited into lakes. Geochemical profiles of these elements in lacustrine records are therefore potential palaeoclimatic proxies since there should be a positive correlation between discharge...
- Holocene reworking of drift-mantled hillslopes in Glen Docherty, Northwest Highlands, Scotland. Curry, A.M. // Holocene;Jul2000, Vol. 10 Issue 4, p509
Sections exposed within a colluvial debris cone in Glen Docherty, Scotland, reveal in-situ palaeosols intercalated with debrisflow diamictons and horizons of slopewash deposits. Radiocarbon dating of the palaeosols suggests that drift reworking at this site involved brief, intermittent episodes...
- Patterns of isostatic land uplift during the Holocene: evidence from mainland Scotland. Smith, D.E.; Cullingford, R.A.; Firth, C.R. // Holocene;Jul2000, Vol. 10 Issue 4, p489
Preliminary results of a lengthy and detailed investigation into middle- and late-Holocene raised shorelines in mainland Scotland indicate that three shorelines are sufficiently widely distributed to permit an examination of their extent and of the patterns of uplift which they indicate. The...

A representative section of the Holocene alluvial record of the southern Pampas (Argentina) comprises a sequence of clastic sediments, a diatomite and two palaeosols. Detailed macro- and micromorphological descriptions provide the basis for the reconstruction of its pedosedimentary history....
- The Holocene occurrence of reindeer on Franz Josef Land, Russia. Forman, S.L.; Weihe, R.R. // Holocene;Nov2000, Vol. 10 Issue 6, p763
Reindeer are absent historically on the high Arctic islands of Franz Josef Land, Russia. However, shed antlers are common on unglaciated forelands on Hooker, Scot Keltie and Alexandra Land Islands in the archipelago. Radiocarbon dating of 19 new antler remains combined with seven ages reported...
