Three NW Iberia Cantabrian Mountain pollen records are presented. They reflect the main Holocene climatic shifts in North Atlantic region as recorded isotopic data from Greenland ice, Irish speleothems and reconstructed sea surface temperatures. Two brief forest regression episodes may be synchronous with GH‐11.2 GH‐8.2 events. At mid‐altitude, two woodland expansion phases (7000–6000 14 C yr BP 4000–2500 BP) separated by a phase of heaths peat deposits. Major declines occurred during...
Abstract The pollen record at Area Longa is the westernmost sequence available for investigation of last glaciation in continental Europe. It located a region, NW Iberia, which data from times earlier than late glacial period are scarce. comprises series exposed limnetic levels that lie above an Eemian (Oxygen Isotope Stage [OIS] 5e) beach and separated by inorganic layers. oldest level (Level I), attributed to early (OIS 5a OIS 5d), shows dominance woodland with high proportions Fagus...
This paper describes and discusses the palaeobotanical data obtained from organic levels of two exposed deposits on A tlantic shore northwestern I berian P eninsula. Radiocarbon dating assigns these to a period marine regression at end MIS 3 beginning L ast G lacial M aximum. The pollen record shows an initial predominance tree taxa (mainly deciduous, including presence F agus far its current limit), followed by episode partial forest retraction related However, numerous in record, even...
The intertidal environment of the Ponzos beach (NW Iberian Peninsula) hosts a sedimentary sequence (including large wood fragments) deposited during first half Holocene in hygrophilous continental wetland. Pollen and macrofossil data alongside radiocarbon dating allow reconstruction changes that occurred Early Middle landscape NW Iberia coastal lowlands, as well local wetland plant communities, response to climate variations eustatic sea‐level oscillations. represents evolution from its...

Las secuencias polínicas, y en concreto las obtenidas a partir de sedimentos limnéticos, se han revelado como la herramienta más eficaz hora valorar los cambios climáticos cuaternarios nivel regional su incidencia sobre ecosistemas. Una parte importante registros obtenidos el NW ibérico, presenta una antigüedad menor 3.000; continuas 6.000 años, que alcanzan cronologías 10.000 o 12.000 limita grandes turberas zonas montaña; finalmente, periodos 17.000 únicamente aparecen representados...
LIFE FLUVIAL project (LIFE16 NAT/ES/000771) is a transnational between Spain and Portugal, whose overall objective the improvement in conservation of Atlantic Natura 2000 river corridors associated wetlands, mainly targeting 91E0* priority habitat. IAS have become one main threats to these ecosystems, as they affect composition structure riverine habitats, well decrease their area. In this conference, we present results learned lessons elimination several basins (Miño, Mandeo, Mero, Barcés)...

La representatividad este territorio ha conllevado su inclusión Red Natura 2000, mediante designación Lugar Importancia Comunitaria (LIC) (ES1120015). Los datos presentados ponen manifiesto un funcionamiento...

Islands in the Atlantic Ocean (spread across and Macaronesian biogeographical regions) have been identified as one of most biodiverse areas EU. Thanks to combination climatic conditions alongside their edaphic coastal dynamics, these regions harbor a very high diversity habitats species, included Directives 92/43/EEC 2009/147/EC, many which are considered for priority conservation. These island ecosystems generally present shared environmental problems, so they extremely threatened...
