A Holocene CO2 record from the stomatal index of subfossil Salix herbacea L. leaves from northern Sweden

A stomatal-based method of palaeo-CO 2 estimation has been applied to a temporally detailed sequence of leaves from a high-latitude lake (68°N) in northern Sweden spanning the last 9000 years. The resulting atmospheric CO 2 reconstruction documents the onset of a gradual increase c. 5000 years befor...
