Vegetation history
The analysis of vegetation history is one of the prime objectives for vegetation scientists. In order to understand the recent composition of local floras and plant communities a second knowledge of species com position during recent millenia is essential. With the present concern over climate changes, due to human activities, an understanding of past vegeta tion distribution becomes even more important, since the correlation between climate and vegetation can often be used to predict possible impacts to crops and forests. I was very fortunate to receive the help of Drs. Webb and Huntley to compile this volume on vegetation history. They have collated an impres sive set of papers which toget...

The Dynamics of Natural Climatic Change
This document summarizes the results of the ARPA Paleoclimate Projects at Brown, with emphasis on work accomplished during the period 15 June 1974 through 15 December 1974. These results include: (1) completion of a numerical experiment on ice-age climate; (2) organization of a data-exchange program with the Soviet Union; (3) formation and analysis of a data bank for pollen data; (4) analysis of the phasing of changes in oceanic circulation and changes in nearby climate and vegetation patterns on land; (5) completion of a review and critique of transfer-function methodology; and (6) documentation of sea-level dynamics during the interval 60,000 - 250,000 YBP.
The Archaeology of Human-Environmental Dynamics on the North American Atlantic Coast
Using archaeology as a tool for understanding long-term ecological and climatic change, this volume synthesizes current knowledge about the ways Native Americans interacted with their environments along the Atlantic Coast of North America over the past 10,000 years. Leading scholars discuss how the region’s indigenous peoples grappled with significant changes to shorelines and estuaries, from sea level rise to shifting plant and animal distributions to European settlement and urbanization. Together, they provide a valuable perspective spanning millennia on the diverse marine and nearshore ecosystems of the entire Eastern Seaboard—the icy waters of Newfoundland and the Gulf of Maine, the ...
