OverviewThis third volume in the Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research series deals with the major terrestrial, algal, and siliceous indicators used in paleolimnology. Other volumes deal with the acquisition and archiving of lake sediment cores, chronological techniques, and large-scale basin analysis methods (Volume 1), physical and geochemical parameters and methods (Volume 2), zoological techniques (Volume 4), and statistical and data handling methods (Volume 5). These monographs will provide sufficient detail and breadth to be useful handbooks for both seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers to the area of paleolimnology. Although the chapters in these volumes target mainly lacustrine settings, many of the techniques described can also be readily applied to fluvial, glacial, marine, estuarine, and peatland environments.

Table of ContentsUsing Biology to Study Long-Term Environmental Change.- Pollen.- Conifer Stomata.- Plant Macrofossils.- Charcoal as a Fire Proxy.- Non-Pollen Palynomorphs.- Protozoa: Testate Amoebae.- Diatoms.- Chrysophyte Scales and Cysts.- Ebridians.- Phytoliths.- Freshwater Sponges.- Siliceous Protozoan Plates and Scales.- Biogenic Silica.- Sedimentary Pigments.ReviewsVolume 3 will be of particular interest to paleolimnologists approaching the subject from the biological or limnological standpoint; some of the most important indicators used by paleolimnologists including pollen analysis, plant macrofossils, charcoal, diatoms, chrysophytes, phytoliths, biogenic silica and pigments. These chapters will become essential citations in the methods sections of future papers.
