Abstract
Pioneer studies of peat stratigraphy in Scandinavia led to division of the Holocene into climatic periods, and though this scheme was later re-evaluated and partly rejected, studies in Denmark and England have demonstrated a link between the stratigraphy of lowland raised mires and past climatic change. In a new study, radiocarbon dating of changes in the degree of humification of peat from blanket mires in the British Isles appears to show a change to wetter conditions around 1400 BP. -from Authors
