...depending on the state transitions that occur between vegetation types.
Ominous.
At Lake Ohrid Albania, °C had already been at normal level for 1000 years when tree pollen caught up and forest had returned.
1000 years for full "state transition" from steppe to forest!
Thats how slow 🌱🐝🐭🐦🐺migrate.

Happy to share the first article published in "Catena" by my post-doc Laura Gedminienė about the climatic trends in the South Baltics during the end- Pleistocene and Holocene.

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I'm a researcher interested in plants, people and climate changes in the past, present and future - with a particular focus on Araucaria forests in Brazil and elsewhere. I also run the 3D Pollen Project (3dpollenproject.wixsite.com/main) because pollen is cooler than you think!

Having some #AGU2024 FoMo this year but can’t leave the family again. At least our (Drs Ellie Goud Pete Whittington Peter Beckett @florinp.bsky.social & @nbasiliko.bsky.social) research on restoring critical #peatland functions in heavily metal polluted landscapes is still there youtu.be/-smiKnf-WU8

Palynology is where a core is taken of a bog. Pollen is laid down annually on the bog & survives protected in the moss as it grows. The core is sampled at intervals & inspected under a microscope & data extrapolated, carbon dated & read & vegetation identified

Welcome to our palaeo/paleofeed! If you are a paleoecologist or a fan of lost worlds, time traveller, or just a lover of Earth’s history, this feed is for you 💕
As holidays are coming up soon here is a proper paleobell 😀
