Short summary

We studied a peatland in northern Poland to see how climate and natural ecosystem changes shaped it over the past 11,500 years. By analysing preserved plants and microscopic life, we found clear shifts in wetness linked to climate and internal development. This longest complete peat record in the region shows how peatlands help us understand long-term environmental change and their future resilience to climate change.
