Short summary
We used a multi-proxy approach combining peat, tree ring, climate, and historical records to reconstruct > 2300 years of peatland dynamics in a Central European region. Results show a human-induced shift from alder to pine forest due to land use change and acidification, stressing the importance of long-term records for peatland conservation.
