TL;DR: Using a set of criteria designed to identify realistic and achievable research goals, questions were selected from a pool submitted by the international palaeoecology research community and relevant policy practitioners to highlight its potential for addressing both pure and applied issues related to ecological science and global change.

TL;DR: The European Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) as mentioned in this paper is a publicly accessible repository of modern (surface sample) pollen data, which can be used to understand the relationship between pollen as the proxy and the environmental parameters such as vegetation, land-use, and climate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize experiences from recent outbreaks to encourage knowledge transfer from previously impacted communities to potentially vulnerable locations that may be at risk from future bark beetle epidemics.

TL;DR: In this article, a team of ecologists, land managers and social scientists participated in a research prioritization workshop to identify 25 key questions by using an established methodology to identify priorities for research into the impacts of bark beetles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take the first steps toward a full integration of these data sets by reviewing how disturbances are reconstructed using dendrochronological and sedimentary archives and by summarizing the conceptual frameworks for carbon, nitrogen, and hydrologic responses to disturbances.
