A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, positive): “Plant 291 macrofossils can help to improve the taxonomic precision attainable from Quaternary plant 292 assemblages (e.g. Birks HH, 1980, 2001, 2013; Birks and Birks, 2000; Birks HJB, 2014), but no fossil 293 plant assemblage, microfossil or macrofossil or both, can ever have the taxonomic…”

A palynological study of the Gran Sabana region (northern South America) within a neotropical context (2014, background): “Research on macrofossils, which are more reliable indicators of in situ occurrences of their parent plants (Birks & Birks, 2000), are still rare in the Neotropics.”
• ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Towards an understanding of the Holocene distribution of Fagus sylvatica L. (2006, positive): “Although the detection of small populations is difficult using pollen analyses (Birks & Birks, 2000) and depends on site characteristics and the number of pollen grains counted (Bennett, 1986), pollen analyses serves as a robust tool to reconstruct the population expansion of F. sylvatica.”
