Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

Persistence of natural populations during periods of climate change is likely to depend on
migration (range shifts) or adaptation. These responses were traditionally considered …

Warming has been particularly strong at high latitudes in recent decades and bioclimatic
models predict northern shifts in optimal conditions for most species. Climate is a strong …

Detailed stratigraphic analysis and numerical dating (OSL, IRSL, ESR, 14C) of Pleistocene
coversands in southwest France enable the construction of a renewed chronostratigraphic …

Despite their critical importance for understanding the local effects of global climate change
on biodiversity, glacial microrefugia are not well studied because they are difficult to detect …

Abstract Changes in ice‐sheet size impact atmospheric circulation, a phenomenon
documented by models but constrained by few paleoclimate records. We present sub …

The mid-Pliocene is a valuable time interval for investigating equilibrium climate at current
atmospheric CO 2 concentrations because atmospheric CO 2 concentrations are thought to …

Fire frequency is a statistical metric used to evaluate long‐term fire activity at stand and
landscape scales. Fire frequency is defined as the number of fires occurring per unit time in …

En raison de leur position à la limite de l'enveloppe de tolérance bioclimatique, les
populations aux marges des aires de la répartition des espèces sont particulièrement …

The analysis of macroscopic wood charcoal fragments extracted from soils is frequently
used as a palaeoecological tool for reconstructing stand-scale forest composition and fire …
