TL;DR: This article examined the global relationship between peatland carbon accumulation rates during the last millennium and planetary-scale climate space and found a positive relationship between carbon accumulation and cumulative photosynthetically active radiation during the growing season for mid-to high-latitude peatlands in both hemispheres.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data from East Africa to document land-cover change, and environmental, subsistence and land-use transitions over the past 6000 years.

TL;DR: The Global Modern Charcoal Dataset (GMCD) as discussed by the authors is a dataset of modern sedimentary charcoal and other sediment-based fire proxies, including charcoal, levoglucosan, black carbon, and soot.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary perspective for understanding environmental change and emerging socio-ecological interactions across the Amboseli region of southwestern Kenya is presented, where the authors utilize multi-disciplinary approaches to understand environmental-ecosystem-social interactions over the longue duree and use this to simulate different land use scenarios supporting conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

TL;DR: A 5000-year environmental history of a radiocarbon dated sediment core from Esambu Swamp adjacent to Amboseli National Park provides unique insight into the long-term ecosystem history and wetland processes, particularly the past 500 years.
