This data set presents the reconstructed vegetation cover for 446 Asian sites based on harmonized pollen data from the data set LegacyPollen 2.0. 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.
This data set presents the reconstructed vegetation cover for 706 Asian sites based on harmonized pollen data from the data set LegacyPollen 2.0 and optimized RPP values. 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 taking into account taxon-specific pollen productivity and fall speed. Additionally, relevant source areas of pollen were also calculated using the aforementioned taxon-specific parameters and a gaussian plume model for deposition and dispersal and forest cover was reconstructed. In this optimized reconstruction, relative pollen productivity estimates for the ten most common taxa were first optimized by using reconstructed tree cover from modern pollen samples and LANDSAT remotely sensed tree cover (Sexton et al. 2013) for Asia. Values for non-optimized taxa for relative pollen productivity and fall speed were taken from the synthesis from Wiezcorek and Herzschuh (2020). The average values from all Northern Hemisphere values were used where taxon-specific continental values were not available. We present tables with optimized reconstructed vegetation cover for records in Asia. As further details we list a table with the taxon-specific parameters used and a list of parameters adjusted in the default version of REVEALSinR.
This data set presents the reconstructed vegetation cover for 1287 European sites based on harmonized pollen data from the data set LegacyPollen 2.0.

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.

Permafrost regions are strongly affected by ongoing global warming. The widely distributed Arctic patterned ground of polygonal wetlands underlain by permafrost is considered to be sensitive to environmental and climate changes. In a combined ecological and palaeo-ecological approach, modern, sub-recent and fossil ice-wedge polygons will be studied at three representative sites along a geographical gradient in the northeast Siberian lowlands in order to understand the temporal and spatial variations of polygon dynamics and their relation to climate change. In the proposed study design limnological, (palaeo-)ecological, pedological and cryological methods are tightly interconnected to assess modern and palaeo-environmental conditions and their main forcing parameters thoroughly. Terrestrial and aquatic species communities will be studied and cryogenic processes affecting polygonal landscape will be observed and evaluated. Results from the proposed project will allow predicting future environmental dynamics in permafrost regions. Extensive preparatory work including methodological tests, site visits and cooperation arrangements was performed by the applicants to ensure the feasibility of the project. The project will bring together German and Russian expertise in Arctic ecology and permafrost science complemented by international partners.
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.
