Plant macrofossils as indicators of vegetation and climate change in the Northern Black Forest of Germany during the last millennium - with focus on the Little Ice Age
In order to better understand the potential effects of climatic change on forest cover during and after the Little Ice Age ( ad 1550 to 1880), a...

Plant remains preserved in products of metal corrosion: source of evidence on ancient plant materials and environment from burial contexts
By-products of metal corrosion, when coming into contact with organic matter, have the capacity to preserve it from decay. A pilot study was...
