O knihe

The Handbook of Holocene Palaeoecology and Palaeohydrology was originally published in 1986 and has been out of print for many years. The present book is a reprint of that volume, reprinted without changes to either text or illustrations.

The Handbook of Holocene Palaeoecology and Palaeohydrology was a breakthrough in standardizing methods applied in palaeoecology and palaeohydrology. Particular attention was paid to Holocene environmental changes in the temperate zone, but most methods can be applied to older Quaternary deposits and to areas outside the temperate zone. The need for uniform methods of correlating stratigraphical data on a continental scale was emphasized.

There have, of course, been methodological developments and a research expansion during the last 15 years, particularly in palaeolimnological studies. However, the basic methods for palaeoecological research strategy, for sampling and documentation of mire and lake deposits, for dating and for palaeochemical and palaeobiological analyses, are still the same as when the book was published.

The book will be a valuable reference work for those involved in the field of Quaternary paleoecology, including ecologists, geologists, geographers and archaeologists.
