The pace of Holocene vegetation change Although much is known about the rapid environmental changes that have occurred since Industrial Revolution, patterns over preceding millennia been only patchily understood. Using a global set >1100 fossil pollen records, Mottl et al. explored rates past 18,000 years (see Perspective by Overpeck and Breshears). authors show accelerated markedly during Late (∼4.6 to 2.9 thousand ago), even more rapidly than climate-driven associated with end last...
The number of well-dated pollen diagrams in Europe has increased considerably over the last 30 years and many them have been submitted to European Pollen Database (EPD). This allows for construction increasingly precise maps Holocene vegetation change across continent. Chronological information EPD expressed uncalibrated radiocarbon years, most chronologies date are based on this time scale. Here we present new datasets stored calibrated years. Age associated with is often derived from...
The European Pollen Database (EPD) is a community effort to archive and make available pollen sequences from across the continent. provide records that may be used infer past vegetation change. We present here maps based on 828 sites EPD giving an overview of changes in postglacial assemblages Europe over 15,000 years. show distribution abundance 54 different taxa at 500 year intervals, supported by new age-depth models associated chronological uncertainty analysis. Results individualistic...
Abstract Climate warming is expected to cause a poleward spread of species, resulting in increased richness at mid high latitudes and weakening the latitudinal diversity gradient. We used pollen data test if such change gradient occurred during last major shift plant species Europe following end glacial period. In contrast expectations, slope strengthened Holocene. The increase temperatures around 10 ka ago reduced latitude sites due gradual closure forests. Deforestation introduction...
In mid to high latitudes glacial and interglacial cycles have repeatedly changed the area available for plant growth. The speed at which plants are able colonize areas onset of an is hypothesized limit their distribution ranges even today (migrational lag). If spread would been generally slow then diversity in previously glaciated be expected increase over time. We explore this hypothesis using results from six palynological investigations two regions: central Sweden north-eastern Germany....
Nastanak i razvoj neolitskih kultura na bosanskom području zavisi od niza faktora prirodne sredine. Pored geografskog položaja znatnu ulogu igraju klima, zemljište, kao razvitak flore faune. Radi toga su, kod projekta Okolište samog početka istraživanja uključene razne naučne discipline. Paralelno uz arheološke radove (2002-2005) izvršene su geološke, arheobotaničke, zoološke geomagnetske prospekcije, sa namjerom da različitim naučnim metodama dopunimo sliku života neolitskog stanovništva...
Abstract. Die Analyse zweier Bohrkerne von Grund der Nordsee und dem in Analogie mit Doggerland bezeichneten ehemaligen Nordseefestland boten die Möglichkeit eines besseren Verständnisses pleistozäner frühholozäner Vegetationsgeschichte. Basierend auf hochauflösenden Pollendiagrammen an Basalen Torfen wurden Vegetationsentwicklungen Umweltbedingungen untersucht. Diagramme zeigen, dass sich Mitteleuropäische Grundsukzession weiten Teilen nachverfolgen lässt. Eine Bestimmung...
Abstract In the Elbe-Weser Triangle, located in north-west of Germany and framed by rivers Elbe Weser, a total approx. 350 megaliths Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC) have been identified. Despite their large number there is little knowledge about monuments themselves, architecture or history use. This lack information partly attributed to widespread destruction disturbance open landscape during past centuries. Other covered bog clay deposits marine inundations thus not investigated even found,...
Abstract. Two radiocarbon-dated pollen diagrams from spring mires reveal 4500 years history of natural and anthopogenic woodland mire development in the new red sandstone area Palatinate Forest. Oak-lime rich noble deciduous trees dominated landscape prior to spread beech. This emphasises important role Tilia woodlands mountains Subboreal. Pinus is autochthonal Middle Forest while Picea Abies are not. The vegetation consisted acidophilous beech woods (Luzulo-Fagetum, Melampyro-Fagetum)...
