oa NOVEL INSIGHTS INTO PALEOVEGETATION RECONSTRUCTION OF THE BEERBERG PEAT SEQUENCE (THURINGIA, GERMANY) THROUGH THE USE OF MULTIPLE PROXIES

Using a core from the Beerberg peatland, we investigated the paleovegetation through multiple proxies including macrofossil, pollen, and biomarkers. The biomarker results, including n-alkanes, n-alcohols, and n-fatty acids, were used with the VERHIB model to estimate vegetation composition. The macrofossil and pollen results were used to calibrate and verify the model.
