Reliable quantitative vegetation reconstructions for Europe during the Holocene are crucial to improving our understanding of landscape dynamics, making it possible assess past effects environmental variables and land-use change on ecosystems biodiversity, mitigating their in future. We present here most spatially extensive temporally continuous pollen-based plant cover (at a spatial resolution 1° × 1°) over (last 11.7 ka BP) using ‘Regional Estimates VEgetation Abundance from Large Sites’...
The study deals with sediment production, transfer and deposition in the Piave River basin from Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to Present. It aims at defining temporal relationships between late Pleistocene Holocene glacial phases sedimentary hydrosystem, analyzing modes timing of within system. highest production was peak LGM; immediately after deglaciation, until about 8 ka 14C BP, alluvial sediments were mostly trapped terminal tracts Alpine valleys Vallone Bellunese. whole plain experienced...
The sedimentary fills of two dolines in the Faverghera plateau Venetian Pre-Alps, south Belluno, have been investigated. This small is a sub-horizontal surface about 0.5 km2 wide, located on northeastern slope Mt. (1640 m a.s.l.) hosting nearly 40 karst partially filled by periglacial deposits. Topographic survey, electric resistivity tomography (ERT), soil and pollen analyses carried on. structure characters filling deposits indicate that evolution these forms has controlled alternation...
The BRAIN (Botanical Records of Archaeobotany Italian Network) database and network was developed by the cooperation archaeobotanists working on archaeological sites.Examples recent research including pollen or other plant remains in analytical synthetic papers are reported as an exemplar reference list.This paper retraces main steps creation BRAIN, from scientific need for first to website which has a free online access since 2015.
This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary investigation wreck riverine flat-bottom sewn barge dated to fifth century AD. The was recovered west city Comacchio (Ferrara, North Italy), near sixth church Santa Maria in Padovetere (SMP). It found silty sediments filling paleo channel Po River and is one very few well-preserved inland watercrafts from Roman period known southern Europe. Thanks high level conservation organic matter, archaeobotanical analyses bilge sediments, rope...
We provide information on the typification of ten species names described by Roberto de Visiani and Josif Pančić in Plantae Serbicae Rariores aut Novae—Decas II, published 1865, one Flora Principality Serbia (1874). Ten lectotypes are designated here. The name Scabiosa achaeta & is synonymised with fumarioides Pančić. Differential characters distinguishing Allium serbicum similar A. pallens L. given.
Lycopus is a widespread herbaceous plant, currently part of European flora. Fossil remains fruits (nutlets or mericarps) attributed to this genus are frequently found in archaeological and palaeontological sites, being easily preserved sedimentary deposits. In worldwide context, the oldest fossils from early Oligocene (ca. 30 Ma) West Siberia, but they become more common Miocene (23.0–5.3 records, ranging Siberia Central Europe. literature, (plus few Pliocene ones) were assigned...
