Late Holocene changes in vegetation and atmospheric circulation at Lake Uddelermeer (The Netherlands) reconstructed using lipid biomarkers and compound-specific δD analysis
We reconstructed middle to late Holocene changes in atmospheric circulation patterns and vegetation in north-west Europe by applying novel geochemical techniques to the sediment record of Lake Uddelermeer (The Netherlands).

We reconstructed middle to late Holocene changes in atmospheric circulation patterns and vegetation in north-west Europe by applying novel geochemical techniques to the sediment record of Lake Uddelermeer (The Netherlands).
