This data set presents the reconstructed vegetation cover for 2773 sites based on harmonized pollen data from the data set LegacyPollen 2.0 (https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.965907). 1040 sites are located in North America, 1287 in Europe, and 446 in Asia. Sugita's REVEALS model (2007) was applied to all pollen records using REVEALSinR from the DISQOVER package (Theuerkauf et al. 2016). Pollen counts were translated into vegetation cover by accounting for taxon-specific pollen productivity and fall speed. Additionally, relevant source areas of pollen were calculated using the aforementioned taxon-specific parameters and a Gaussian plume model for deposition and dispersal. Values for relative pollen productivity and fall speed from the synthesis from Wiezcorek and Herzschuh (2010) were updated with recent studies used to reconstruct vegetation cover. The average values from all Northern Hemisphere values were used where taxon-specific continental values were unavailable. As REVEALS was conceived to reconstruct vegetation from large lakes, only records originating from large lakes (>= 50h) are marked as "valid as site" in the dataset. Reconstructions from other records can be used when spatially averaging several together. An example script to do so is provided on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12800290). Reconstructed tree cover was validated using modern Landsat remote sensing forest cover. Reconstructed tree cover has much lower errors than the original arboreal pollen percentages. Reconstructions of individual taxa are more uncertain. We present tables with reconstructed vegetation cover for all continents with original parameters. As further details, we list a table with the taxon-specific parameters used, metadata for all records, and a list of parameters adjusted in the default version of REVEALSinR.

Jahrhundert erstellt werden.

The research centre 'Ocean Margins' at the University of Bremen was established in July 2001 to geoscientifically investigate the transitional zones between the oceans and the continents. The work of the research centre is a cooperative effort, with expertise provided by the geosciences department and other departments of the university, as well as by MARUM (Center for Marine Environmental Sciences), the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, the Center for Marine Tropical Ecology, and the Senckenberg Research Institute in Wilhelmshaven. Funded by the DFG, the studies focus on four main research fields: Paleoenvironment, Biogeochemical processes, Sedimentation Processes, and Environmental Impact Research. The term 'Ocean Margin' encompasses the region from the coast, across the shelf and continental slope, to the foot of the slope. Over 60 percent of the world's population live in coastal regions. These people have a long history of exploitation of coastal waters, including the recovery of raw materials and food. Human activity has recently been expanding ever farther out into the ocean, where the ocean margins have become more attractive as centers for hydrocarbon exploration, industrial fishing, and other purposes. The research themes of the centre range from environmental changes in the Tertiary to the impact of recent coastal construction, and from microbial degradation in the sediment to large-scale sediment mass wasting along continental margins. New full professorships and junior professorships have been established within the framework of this research centre. In addition to the primary research activities, a research infrastructure will be made available to outside researchers. Graduate education and the public understanding of science also play an important role. In the course of the first two rounds of the Excellence Initiative, the Research Centre was promoted to that status of a cluster of excellence, which has increased the amount of funding it receives up to the average amount of 6.5 million per annum received by clusters of excellence.
Der Grad der Zuverlaessigkeit palaeooekologischer Analysen haengt unter anderem ab von unserer Kenntnis der Wirkungsweise klimatischer Aussenfaktoren auf physiologische Prozesse der Pflanzen. Hierbei spielt die Frage danach, ob die meisten Pflanzen ueber nur ein einziges biochemisches und biophysikalisches Prinzip der Resistenz gegen Hitze, Kaelte und Duerre verfuegen, oder ob gegen diese schaedlichen Aussenfaktoren unterschiedliche Resistenzarten entwickelt sind, eine grosse Rolle. Sie haben die Veraenderungen der Feinstruktur des Plasmas von Pflanzenzellen beim Uebergang vom aktiven zum Ruhestillstand und umgekehrt verfolgt, verbunden mit Analysen des Energiestoffwechsels von Geweben, die sich in unterschiedliche Aussenfaktoren in den Zustand der Ruhe versetzt worden waren. Die Untersuchungen wurden ausgedehnt auf eine Bearbeitung der RNS ruhender und aktiver Pflanzenzellen.
Ziel dieses Projekts ist es, die 176Lu-176Hf und 238U-230Th Methodik für die Anwendung an Evaporitmineralen (Karbonat, Anhydrit, Gips, Bassanit) zu entwickeln. In Kombination würden diese Methoden das gesamte zu erwartendene Alterspektrum in der Atacama Wüste abdecken (einige Zehntausend bis Zehnermillionen Jahre).
Erforschung der Abhaengigkeit des Baumwachstums von menschlich beeinflussten Faktoren: An der alpinen Waldgrenze bei Innsbruck, im Nordschwarzwald, sowie in den Donauauen bei Ingolstadt werden die jaehrlichen und taeglichen Zuwachsraten ausgewaehlter Versuchsbaeume in Abhaengigkeit von den verschiedensten Standortsfaktoren untersucht, um Anhaltsmoeglichkeiten fuer eine paleoklimatische Interpretation der wechselnden Jahrringbreiten zu erhalten.
Dieses Projekt untersucht die 16O-17O-18O and the H-D Isotopensysteme im Kristallwasser von Gips (CaS04-2H20) und Bassanit (CaS04-2H20). Ziel ist der prinzipielle Nachweis, ob es möglich ist aus der Isotopie des Kristallwassers atmosphärische Parameter, wie z.B. die Luftfeuchtigkeit zum Zeitpunkt der Mineral(um)bildung, zu rekonstruieren.
Lake Ohrid is a large (360 km2) and deep (289 m) lake of tectonic origin and is shared between the Republics of Macedonia and Albania. Biological and biogeographical studies of the lake revealed an outstanding degree of endemism and suggest a Pliocene origin of Lake Ohrid, making the lake the oldest one in Europe. The high age and the high degree of endemism make Lake Ohrid a first class site to investigate the link between geological and biological evolution in ancient lakes. Given its importance as refugium and spreading centre, the lake was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1979, and included as a target site of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) already in 1993. The political situation in the Balkan in the mid 1990ies, however, hampered further establishment of Lake Ohrid as potential ICDP site. This proposal bundle seeks funds for the detection of the timing of major evolutionary events, the investigation of the origin, the sedimentological inventory, neotectonic movements, and the paleoecology and paleolimnology of Lake Ohrid in order to develop a full ICDP proposal for deep drilling. Within the scope of this cover proposal funds for the coordination of the single proposals, for scientific exchange between the single bundle proponents, and for the data management are applied for.
Das Projekt beschäftigt sich mit den tropischen Grasländern im Hochland von Sri Lanka oberhalb 1400 m NN, den sogenannten Feuchtpatanas, deren Entstehung bis heute unbekannt und umstritten ist. Zur Klärung der Genese sollen die rezent wirkenden Geofaktoren (vor allem Klima, Boden, Vegetation und Landnutzung) quantifiziert und zu den vormals herrschenden Umweltbedingungen in Beziehung gesetzt werden. Dazu werden Böden und Sedimente paläoökologisch - unter Einsatz von Pollenanalysen und Radiokarbondatierungen - bearbeitet. Außerdem wird Archivmaterial zur historischen Landnutzung (u.a. Berichte britischer Gouverneure im ehemaligen Ceylon) ausgewertet. Untersuchungsschwerpunkt sind die Horton Plains im Südosten des zentralen Hochlands. Diese werden von zwei weiteren Gebieten ergänzt, so daß eine ausreichende horizontale und vertikale Diversifizierung gewährleistet ist. Mit diesem Vorgehen soll eine breite Datenbasis für die Synthese über die mutmaßlich polygenetische Entstehung der Feuchtpatanas sichergestellt werden.
