Editors of Science apparently liked our new approach of using pollen and plant ecological data to determine disturbance-diversity relationship over long time scales. They highlighted our paper in Journal of Ecology. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/363/6432/1188.2
Journal of Vegetation Science published a Special Feature (featuring my photo at the cover page) focused on vegetation history, which I co-edited together with Thomas Giesecke and Triin Reitalu. Nine articles summarise current trends in Millennial to centennial vegetation change.
Our paper on “Using historical ecology to reassess the conservation status of coniferous forests in Central Europe” published in Conservation Biology (http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/cobi.12763) was highlighted in Nature (6 October 2016). Here is the link for the article: https://doi.org/10.1038/538009e
