For millennia, forest ecosystems in California have been shaped by fire from both natural processes and Indigenous land management, but the notion of climatic variation as a primary controller of the pre-colonial landscape remains pervasive. Understa... Read More about Land management explains major trends in forest structure and composition over the last millennium in California's Klamath Mountains.

Do Local Habitat Conditions Affect Estimates of Relative Pollen Productivity and Source Area in Heathlands? (2022)
Journal Article
Bunting, M. J., & Farrell, M. (in press). Do Local Habitat Conditions Affect Estimates of Relative Pollen Productivity and Source Area in Heathlands?. Frontiers in ecology and evolution, 10, Article 787345. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2022.787345

Relative Pollen Productivity is an essential parameter for quantitative reconstruction of past land cover from pollen records, but published studies have produced a range of different values for the same taxa. Heathland habitats have limited plant di... Read More about Do Local Habitat Conditions Affect Estimates of Relative Pollen Productivity and Source Area in Heathlands?.
