Abstract Background The global human footprint has fundamentally altered wildfire regimes, creating serious consequences for health, biodiversity, and climate. However, it remains difficult to project how long-term interactions among land use, management, climate change will affect fire behavior, representing a key knowledge gap sustainable management. We used expert assessment combine opinions about past future regimes from 99 researchers. asked quantitative qualitative assessments of the...
Fire regime changes are considered a major threat to future biodiversity in the Mediterranean Basin. Such predictions remain uncertain, given that fire and their ecological impacts occur over timescales too long for direct observation. Here we analyse centennial- millennial-scale shifts regimes compositional turnover track consequences of on vegetation diversity. We estimated rate-of-change, richness (beta diversity) 13 selected high-resolution palaeoecological records from Iberia compared...
Archaeobotany is used to discover details on local land uses in prehistoric settlements developed during the middle and beginning of late Holocene. Six archaeological sites from four countries (Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey) have pollen charcoal records showing clear signs agrarian systems that had Mediterranean basin different cultural phases, pre-Neolithic Recent Bronze Age. A selected list taxa sums, including cultivated trees, other woody species, crops annual or perennial synanthropic...
Much attention has been placed on the drivers of vegetation change Iberian Peninsula. While climate plays a key role in determining species pools within different regions and exerts strong influence broad patterning, humans, particularly during prehistory, is less clear. The aim this paper to assess prehistoric population shaping patterns eastern Iberia Balearic Islands between start Neolithic late Bronze Age. In all, 3385 radiocarbon dates have compiled across study area provide...
This paper focuses on the high-resolution pollen analysis of one new record from Lake Banyoles (Girona, Spain) and its contextualisation with other archaeobotanical records (charcoal, seed wood remains) early Neolithic lakeshore settlement La Draga. Around ca.7250 cal BP, coinciding first phase Draga, a rapid fall values deciduous Quercus sp. is observed, stabilisation these found until ca. 6000 BP. The causes for such changes in vegetation cover are discussed, taking into consideration...
ABSTRACT Sixty-two 14 C dates are analyzed in combination with a recently established local floating tree-ring sequence for the Early Neolithic site of La Draga (Banyoles, northeast Iberian Peninsula). Archaeological data, radiometric and dendrochronological dates, as well sedimentary micro-stratigraphical information used to build Bayesian chronological model, using ChronoModel 2.0 OxCal 4.4 computer programs, IntCal 2020 calibration curve. The is analyzed, partially fixed calendrical scale...
The tempo and mode of colonization the Iberian Peninsula (IP) by Cannabis sativa, its further internal spreading potential cultural environmental factors involved remain unknown. available continental-wide European meta-analyses using pollen archeological evidence account for only a few IP sites, insufficient sound assessment. This paper presents nearly comprehensive database almost 60 sites with palynological analyzes corresponding spatiotemporal patterns. first scattered records this type...
Volcanism can cause major impacts, including climate change and mass extinctions. However, the impact of monogenetic volcanism is often considered as limited in volcanological research. This work provides for first time an interdisciplinary approach to socio-ecological a key region, La Garrotxa Volcanic Field (GVF, Girona, NE Iberia), where intense volcanic activity occurred past. The analyses sedimentary sequence from GVF enabled identifying previously unknown eruptions interval 14-8.4 ka...
The role of the adoption farming economies in transformation mid-Holocene landscapes Northeast Iberia is under discussion given that Neolithization coincides with cold climatic phase dated ca. 7500–7000 cal BP. main aim this paper to assess whether human activities or climate were driver vegetation changes during Middle Holocene through study archaeobotanical data from three case studies: Cova del Sardo, La Draga, and Coves Fem. application diverse techniques different plant remains provides...
Volcanic eruptions are key drivers of climate variability, with complex environmental consequences at regional and local scales that rarely documented in high-resolution sedimentary records. In this work we present the results a 15 m long paleolake core (Pla de les Preses core, Vall d’en Bas, Girona, NE Spain) covering Late Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Multiproxy analyses including chronostratigraphy, sedimentology, micropalaeontology geochemistry used to reconstruct paleoenvironmental...
