Western Alps geological constraints on western Tethyan reconstructions (2005)

Stampfli, G. M., Borel, G.D., Marchant, R., Mosar, Jon

Colombian vegetation at the last glacial maximum: a comparison of model- and pollen-based biome reconstructions. (2004)

Marchant, R., Boom, A., Behling, H., Hooghiemstra, H., Melief, B., Van Geel, B., ...

Colombian vegetation, at the ecological level of the biome, is reconstructed at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) using two methods. A reconstruction of modern biomes shows that, for the majority of the...

Rapid environmental change in African and South American tropics around 4000 years before present: a review (2004)

Marchant, R., Hooghiemstra, H.

Palaeoecological data recording a pronounced environmental shift centred about 4000 years BP are presented from tropical Africa and South America. The environmental shift is particularly manifested...

Distribution and ecology of parent taxa of pollen lodged within the Latin American Pollen Database. (2002)

Marchant, R., Almeida, L., Behling, H., Berrio, J.C., Bush, M., Cleef, A., ...

The cornerstone of palaeoecological research, concerned with vegetation dynamics over the recent geological past, is a good understanding of the present-day ecology and distribution of the taxa. This...

Pollen-based biome reconstructions for Colombia at 3000, 6000, 15 000 and 18 000 14C yr ago : Late Quaternary tropical vegetation dynamics (2002)
