  <Summary>
    <Abstract>This high-resolution, multiproxy, palaeoenvironmental study of 
the Slowinskie Blota raised bog in N Poland, 10km from the Baltic Sea, 
covering the last 1200 years reveals different aspects of environmental 
change in a range of spatial scales from local to regional. Testate 
amoebae allowed quantitative reconstruction of the local water table 
using a transfer function based on a training set from N and W Poland. 
Special attention is paid to the testate amoeba Arcella discoides, 
which responds to rapid water-table fluctuations more than to average 
surface wetness. Macrofossils supported by local pollen tracked the 
local vegetation dynamics caused by local human impact and disturbance, 
including nutrients. Regional pollen showed human-induced landscape 
change outside the bog. Tree rings of Pinus sylvestris reflected the 
history of tree establishment and desiccation of the bog. Strong 
correlations between DCA axes 1 of regional pollen, of macrofossils 
and of testate amoebae, and a testate-amoebae-based water-table 
reconstruction that excludes A. discoides, indicate that changes 
on all spatial scales are linked, which is explained by a strong 
hydrologic connection between bog and surroundings. The combination 
of proxies shows that groundwater levels were modified by both human 
impact and climate change.
 
          STUDY NOTES: Depth to Water Table (DWT) reconstruction for Slowinskie Bog, 
Poland, based on Testate Amoeba. Slowinskie Bog is located 
in northern Poland, ~10km from the Baltic shoreline. 

All calculations are based on percentage of each species 
of Testate Amoeba in a sample (See Booth et al., 2010). 
Age model is from (Lamentowicz et al., 2009). 

Depth to Water Table (DWT) is dependent on vegetation season 
temperature and summer water deficit, providing a mixed 
temperature and precipitation signal. 

Water table reconstruction based on the transfer function 
of Lamentowicz et al., 2008.
