                      loaning his Wardenaar corer and for having let us use the
                      peat-cutting facilities at the IES (University of
                      Heidelberg, Germany). Michel Mathijs and Mona Court-Picon
                      were of great help on the field. We thank Konrad Tudyka and
                      Agnieszka Wiszniowska for their help with the <SUP>14</SUP>C
                      sample preparation. Pascal Mertes (DNF-Belgian Forest and
                      Nature Ministry) is also acknowledged for providing us with
                      the official authorization for coring the Misten bog. This
                      research was funded through the ATIS ('Absolute Time Scales

      abstract     = {In this study, palaeoenvironmental changes recorded in the
                      top metre of a peat profile (Misten bog, East Belgium) were
                      investigated using a multiproxy approach. Proxies include
                      bulk density, Ti and Si content, pollen, macrofossils, delta
                      C-13 on specific Sphagnum stems, and delta C-13-delta O-18
                      on Sphagnum leaves. A high-resolution chronology was
                      generated using Pb-210 measurements and 22 C-14 AMS dates on
                      carefully selected Sphagnum macrofossils. delta C-13 only
                      records large change in mire surface wetness. This is partly
                      due to the fact that the core was taken from the edge of a
                      hummock, which may make it difficult to track small isotopic
                      changes. The delta C-13 signal seems to be dependent upon
                      the Sphagnum species composition. For example, a change
                      between Sphagnum section Cuspidata towards Sphagnum
                      imbricatum causes a significant drop in the delta C-13
                      values. On the whole, the C and O isotopes record two
                      shallow pool phases during the 8th-9th and the 13th
                      centuries. Pollen and atmospheric soil dust (ASD) fluxes
                      records increased human occupation in the area. There may be
                      some climatic signals in the ASD flux, but they are
                      difficult to decipher from the increasing human impact (land
                      clearance, agriculture) during the last millennium. The
                      variations in the proxies are not always synchronous,
                      suggesting different triggering factors (temperature,
                      wetness, windiness) for each proxy. This study also
                      emphasizes that, compared to studies dealing with pollution
                      using geochemical proxies, palaeoclimatic inferences from
                      peat bogs need as many proxies as possible, together with
                      highly accurate and precise age-models, in order to better
                      understand climate variability and their consequences during
                      the Holocene. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA. All rights
