“…For historical reasons and by convention, present is taken as AD 1950. Lohne, Mangerud, and Birks () estimated precise calibrated ages BP for the Younger Dryas boundaries in the Kråkenes sequence: Allerød (AL)–Younger Dryas (YD) 12,737 ± 31 cal yr BP; YD–Holocene (H) 11,546 ± 58 cal yr BP. The base of the sequence is dated to ca.…”

“…To reconstruct past biomes or investigate changes in environment based on changes in the macrofossil assemblages, we used community‐weighted means (CWM; Diekmann, ). Macrofossil assemblages do not directly reflect plant communities (Birks, ), so in this paper we refer to the means as assemblage‐weighted (AWM). Estimates for a biome or an environmental variable are derived by weighted average calibration (ter Braak, ).…”

“…Variation in macrofossil abundance can often be interpreted as changes in past plant abundances (Birks, 2003(Birks, , 2014, but infrequent occurrences of macrofossil taxa likely reflect changes in source area (e.g. fluvial input vs. slope input) and a degree of serendipity in detection, with absence particularly hard to interpret.…”

“…Macrofossil analysis can also cover lake species persisting for many years on vegetative reproduction only (Birks, 2001). The record is continuous, although some bias in reconstruction must be taken into account (Birks, 2014). The reconstruction of lake-level fluctuation in deeper lakes is best archived using a transect of multiple cores recovered from a gently sloping littoral part of the lake (Digerfeld, 1986;Hannon & Gaillard, 1997).…”

“…Palaeolimnology is a wellestablished method to approach these questions (Battarbee, 1999;Davidson et al, 2013) because the limitations of the methods are now well understood (e.g. Davidson et al, 2013;Birks, 2014) and multiproxy analyses can be used to reconstruct past macrophyte and biotic communities. Particularly effective are comparative studies of palaeo-records and historical archives (e.g.…”
