“…This article presents a historic reconstruction of Catskill spruce–fir forests obtained from the study of macrofossils preserved in peatland sediments deposited from shortly after deglaciation up to the era of European settlement. Some of the peatlands sampled in this study are ombrotrophic bogs, some correspond more closely to peatlands that are classified as poor fens, and some are swamps.…”

“…In particular, mean Ca 2+ concentrations always were > 1 mg l -1 , i.e. the threshold that has since long been recognized to discriminate ombrotrophic from minerotrophic habitats in continental regions not influenced by dust-fall from cultivated grasslands (Gorham et al 1985;Comeau & Bellamy 1986;Proctor 1994;Bragazza et al 1998;Keimowitz et al 2013;Rocchio et al 2021). Furthermore, the Ca 2+ /Mg 2+ ratio in the water always was > 1, a threshold separating ombrotrophic from minetrotrophic conditions in peatlands (Proctor et al 2009).…”

“…Ombrotropic (“fed by the clouds”) bogs were apparently not recognized in the Catskills until recent studies of high elevation peatlands . These bogs are of interest because they act as a depositional archive, have unique botanical characteristics, and are sensitive to climate change.…”
