Observation of high-resolution terrestrial palaeoecological series can decipher relationships between past climatic transitions, their effects on ecosystems and wildfire cyclicity. Here we present a new radiocarbon dated record from Lake Fimon (NE-Italy) covering the 60-27 ka interval. Palynological, charcoal fragments sediment lithology analysis were carried out at centennial to sub-centennial resolutions. Identification best modern analogues for MIS 3 further enabled thoroughly reconstruct...
This study investigates the distribution of vegetation and its modern pollen representation along an elevation gradient in Italian Alps explores relationships with terrain climate variables. Moss polsters were collected at 25 sites between ca. 300 1400 m asl from open areas, deciduous, conifer forests. At each site was surveyed 1.8 10 radius according to Braun-Blanquet method. Climatic data, bioclimatic indices, parameters obtained for sampling site. Three distinct associations reflect...
Abstract A 3800 year-long radiocarbon-dated and highly-resolved palaeoecological record from Lake Fimon (N-Italy) served to investigate the effects of potential teleconnections between North Atlantic mid-to-low latitudes at transition Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 2. Boreal ecosystems documented in reacted a sensitive way millennial sub-millennial scale Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation patterns. The high median time-resolution 58 years allows identification five abrupt...
