Palynological studies undertaken in the mountainous regions of northwest Iberian Peninsula are few number and have been concerned largely with second half Holocene. New pollen data from two Galician sierras, Courel Queixa Sierras, provide a 10000-yr record vegetation climate change. In Sierra before 9750 yr BP, Laguna Lucenza (1420 m a.s.l.) reflects period open landscape covered by Poaceae heliophilous plants, which may be correlated Younger Dryas. The onset Holocene is characterised...

The northwestern Iberian Peninsula is a climatically complex region influenced by both Atlantic and Mediterranean systems, making it key area for studying past climate dynamics. Mountain lake ecosystems in this are particularly sensitive to variability, serving as valuable archives of sedimentary records that document paleoenvironmental responses major climatic phases. This study aims reconstruct Late Holocene variability Peninsula, with focus on clarifying the uncertainties regarding its...

Abstract. Climate changes in the Iberian Peninsula since Last Glacial Maximum are associated with distributional shifts of major Mediterranean and European temperate species. The dynamic relationship between climate species past may be retrieved from fossil records available Peninsula. We have used an extensive set pollen to reconstruct spatial layers (1 kyr interval) January minimum temperature, July maximum annual precipitation over time period 15 3 ka. A functional principal component...

Pollen analysis from a well-dated sedimentary sequence of the Santo Andr6 lagoon (SW Portugal) reflects vegetational and environmental changes that occurred during Lateglacial Holocene in this coastal area. The Wtnrm/Weichselian interstadial was contemporaneous with well-developed local Pinus forest. During early (between 10 020 5300 yr BP), Mediterranean forest colonized Andre basin. After BP development Alnus, Salix aquatic plants suggests freshwater ponds as consequence formation barrier....

El Cañizar de Villarquemado sequence (North-eastern Iberian Peninsula) stands as an exceptional palaeoenvironmental record for the last 130 000 years. The preliminary multidisciplinary study carried out so far include pollen and sedimentological analyses, comprising geochemical, X ray fluorescence (XRF), mineralogical, organic inorganic content (TOC/TIC) analyses. chronological model has been established combining AMS 14C on first 20 m of sediment OSL methods remaining 54 to bottom....

Abstract. The evolution of the climate in Iberian Peninsula since last glacial maximum is associated with distributional shifts multiple species. We rely on this dynamic relationship between past and biodiversity patterns to quantify change using fossil pollen records widespread throughout modern spatial distribution plant taxa climate. have reconstructed layers (1 ka interval) January minimum temperature, July temperature annual precipitation a method based probability density functions...

The study of the climate in last 2700 years reflected palaeo record is obscured by strong influence human destruction forest cover during this period. In 2 sites Queixa Sierra (northwestern Iberian Peninsula, Europe), Castelo Cerveira (1380 m) and As Aguilladas (1580 m), provide insights into high montane dynamics area since BP. palynological shows regional development vegetation associated with clearance. Around BP a Quercus–Betula was destroyed, followed an abrupt increase grass heather...

Climate change has intensified in recent decades, generating devastating consequences for the environment and, consequently, human health. Mental health emerged as a critical area of concern, since extreme weather events such natural disasters, droughts and floods directly impact psychological well-being vulnerable populations. This study aims to analyze how climate influences mental health, focusing on effects these changes have communities situations vulnerability. The aim this analysis is...
