“…The higher variability in the relative abundance of forest and fynbos vegetation is associated with the sudden rise of coprophilous fungi and a concomitant higher amplitude of charcoal (Figures 3c and 4), consistent with increased pastoralist activities, possibly Khoekhoen and the arrival of European settlers in the area as indicated by historical documentation (Pooley, 2014, 2018). These phases of increased disturbance (e.g.…”

“…The period from ~1750 to 1850 CE is the terminal phase of the LIA, during which time high precipitation is inferred from the Verloren Vlei diatom record (Stager et al, 2012). Historical documents provide information about the continuous demand for timber by the early settlers, which have resulted in extensive forest clearance (Pooley, 2009, 2018). This, undoubtedly, was a contributing factor to forest decline and the first signs of forest degeneration in the pollen record (Figure 3b).…”

“…Over 30 years ago, marine biological invasions were identified as one of the most serious global environmental changes ( Carlton, 1999 ; Occhipinti-Ambrogi & Savini, 2003 ). Since then, the list of non-indigenous species (NIS) in different parts of the World Ocean has grown, altering an increasing number of marine ecosystems ( Chan & Briski, 2017 ; Pooley & Queiroz, 2018 ), and expanding the scope of challenges caused by these alien species ( Simberloff et al, 2013 ; Katsanevakis et al, 2014 ).…”

“…The literature about the historical and social perspectives on introductions and invasions has multiplied in the last few decades, demanding interdisciplinarity (Vaz et al 2017). Not reducing narratives to a good-versus-bad battle, environmental history approaches them by capturing the cultural and natural complexities of the phenomena and revealing how these bioinvasions have unfolded (Lidström et al 2016;Pooley and Queiroz 2018).…”
