Abstract
⺠We analyzed n-alkane distributions and plant macrofossils from a Russian peat sequence that records Holocene climate changes. ⺠The peat compositions reflect vegetation changes that occurred during a transition from a wet fen to a relatively dry bog. ⺠n-Alkane contributions from rootlets that invaded the peat layers are also important to the biomarker compositions. ⺠Paq and n-C23/n-C29 biomarker proxies can be misleading when Betula and Sphagnum fuscum are major contributors to the peat. ⺠Larger ACL values record past periods of cold and dry climate in the Arctic peat sequence.
