Changes of treelines and alpine vegetation in relation to post-glacial climate dynamics in northern Fennoscandia based on pollen and chironomid records.    From Wordnik.com.  [Historical changes in freshwater ecosystems in the Arctic] Reference

Climate reconstructions based on the pollen and chironomid records suggest that the climate during ca. 10,300–9200 cal. yr BP was up to 2–3 C warmer than the present day.    From Wordnik.com.  [Warmest in a Millll-yun Years « Climate Audit] Reference

Fish species are lake trout, Arctic grayling, round whitefish (Prosopium cylindraceum), burbot, and slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus), which feed on benthic chironomid larvae and snails, the latter controlling epilithic algae in the lake.    From Wordnik.com.  [Effects of climate change on hydro-ecology of contributing basins in the Arctic] Reference

Radiocarbon-dated pollen, rhizopod, chironomid and total organic carbon (TOC) records from Nikolay Lake (73j20VN, 124j12VE) and a pollen record from a nearby peat sequence are used for a detailed environmental reconstruction of the Holocene in the Lena Delta area.    From Wordnik.com.  [Warmest in a Millll-yun Years « Climate Audit] Reference

Numerous proxies, including chironomid-inferred July air temperatures, diatom-inferred lakewater pH, and sediment organic matter, reveal a pronounced Holocene thermal maximum as much as 5°C warmer than historic summer temperatures from 10,000 to 8500 cal yr B.P. Following rapid cooling 8500 cal yr B.P., Lake CF3 proxies indicate cooling through the late Holocene.    From Wordnik.com.  [Lamb on the Northeast Atlantic « Climate Audit] Reference
