Archaeology has no Relevance by Suzi Richer, Daryl Stump, Robert Marchant

“…This has prompted some archaeologists — and in particular environmental archaeologists and palaeoecologists — to argue that an understanding of past environmental changes is essential to model future outcomes in areas such as climate change, land cover change, soil health and food security. …”

'As Earth's testimonies tell': wilderness conservation in a changing world by Gillson, L, Willis, K

“…In this paper, we review literature that reveals how increasing collaboration among palaeoecologists, archaeologists, historians, anthropologists and ecologists is improving understanding of ecological complexity. …”

Using historical and palaeoecological data to inform ambitious species recovery targets by Grace, M, Akcakaya, R, Bennett, E, Hilton-Taylor, C, Long, B, Milner-Gulland, E, Young, R, Hoffmann, M

“…However, while the recovery of threatened species is the end goal of many conservation programmes, data made available through the efforts of palaeoecologists and historical ecologists are rarely consulted. …”

Land Use Change in a Pericolonial Society: Intensification and Diversification in Ifugao, Philippines Between 1570 and 1800 CE by David Max Findley, Greg Bankoff, Grace Barretto-Tesoro, Rebecca Hamilton, Andrea U. Kay, Stephen Acabado, Noel Amano, Jed O. Kaplan, Patrick Roberts, Patrick Roberts, Patrick Roberts

“…Land use modelling is increasingly used by archaeologists and palaeoecologists seeking to quantify and compare the changing influence of humans on the environment. …”

Trees or no trees? The environments of central and eastern Europe during the Last Glaciation by Willis, K, van Andel, T

“…The location and survival of trees in the coldest stages of the last full-glacial has long been of interest to palaeoecologists, biogeographers, archaeologists and geneticists alike. …”

Simulated effects of a seasonal precipitation change on the vegetation in tropical Africa by E. S. Gritti, C. Cassignat, O. Flores, R. Bonnefille, F. Chalié, J. Guiot, D. Jolly

“…This study confirms the importance of taking into account seasonal changes in the hydrological balance. Palaeoecologists can greatly benefit from the use of dynamic process based vegetation models to acccount for modification of the length of the dry season when they wish to reconstruct vegetation composition or to infer quantitative climate parameters, such as temperature and precipitation, from pollen or vegetation proxy.…”

Experimental simulation: using generative modelling and palaeoecological data to understand human-environment interactions by George Perry, John Wainwright, Thomas Etherington, Thomas Etherington, Thomas Etherington, Janet Wilmshurst, Janet Wilmshurst

“…We discuss the view that simulation is a form of experiment and, by using case studies, consider how the many patterns available to palaeoecologists can support model evaluation in a way that moves beyond simplistic pattern-matching and how such models might also inform us about the data themselves and the processes generating them. …”

The contribution of tephra constituents during biogenic silica determination: implications for soil and palaeoecological studies by W. Clymans, L. Barão, N. Van der Putten, S. Wastegård, G. Gísladóttir, S. Björck, B. Moine, E. Struyf, D. J. Conley

“…Biogenic silica (BSi) is used as a proxy by soil scientists to identify biological effects on the Si cycle and by palaeoecologists to study environmental changes. Alkaline extractions are typically used to measure BSi in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. …”

Late Quaternary palaeoecology of Ballona Lagoon in southern California by MR Palacios, JA Homburg, EC Brevik, AR Orme, OK Davis, SD Shelley

“…La identificación de los bordes de la laguna fue importante para determinar la forma y razones de cambio de uso del área a través del tiempo por los pobladores prehistóricos Quaternary coastal environments, including estuaries, are significant to archaeologists, geologists, and palaeoecologists because dramatic changes in geographic settings have strongly affected human land use and adaptation. …”
