TLDR
In this article, the best modern analogues method was tested with 285 surface pollen spectra, and then applied to the 47,000 years pollen profile from Lake Mikata, Central Japan Both pollen taxa percentages and plant functional type affinity scores were used in the reconstruction of six climate variables.About:

TL;DR: In this article, the mid-Holocene (MH, around 6 ka) and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, around 21 ka) were compared with palaeoclimate simulations currently being carried out as part of the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

MODERN ANALOGS IN QUATERNARY PALEOECOLOGY: Here Today, Gone Yesterday, Gone Tomorrow?
TL;DR: In this article, modern analog analysis, the comparison of Quaternary fossil pollen assemblages with modern assemblage, has long been a mainstay of paleoecological and paleoclimatic inference.

TL;DR: A 2.8-million-year record of Arctic climate is developed using a sediment core from a lake in northeastern Russia that was formed more than 3.5 million years ago by a meteorite impact, suggesting strong interhemispheric climate connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strengths and Weaknesses of Quantitative Climate Reconstructions Based on Late-Quaternary Biological Proxies
TL;DR: The importance of reconstructing past environments quantitatively in palaeoecology is reviewed by showing that many ecological questions asked of palaeoencological data commonly involve the reconstructions of past environment as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beringia as a glacial refugium for boreal trees and shrubs: new perspectives from mapped pollen data
TL;DR: The rapid post-glacial migration rate reported for Picea in western Canada may be over estimated, and the expansion of trees and shrubs within Beringia should have been nearly contemporaneous with climatic change, suggesting boreal trees or shrubs are capable of surviving long periods in relatively small populations.

A global biome model based on plant physiology and dominance, soil properties and climate
I. Colin Prentice,Wolfgang Cramer,Sandy P. Harrison,Rik Leemans,Robert A. Monserud,Allen M. Solomon +5 more
TL;DR: A model to predict global patterns in vegetation physiognomy was developed from physiological considera- tions influencing the distributions of different functional types of plant in a given environment, and selected the potentially dominant types from among them as discussed by the authors.

Quantitative interpretation of fossil pollen spectra: Dissimilarity coefficients and the method of modern analogs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the difference between multivariate multivariate samples and provided a quantitative aid to the identification of modern analogs for fossil pollen samples, and found that modern samples so similar to fossil samples were found that most of three late Quaternary pollen diagrams could be reconstructed by substituting modern samples for fossil samples.

Reconstructing biomes from palaeoecological data: a general method and its application to European pollen data at 0 and 6 ka
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the objective biomization of pollen samples based on fuzzy logic is described, where the pollen sample is assigned to the biome to which it has the highest affinity subject to a tie-breaking rule.
