Fossil pollen records are well-established indicators of past vegetation changes. The
prevalence of pollen across environmental settings including lakes, wetlands, and marine …

The origin of the temperature divergence between Holocene proxy reconstructions and
model simulations remains controversial, but it possibly results from potential biases in the …

Climatic and environmental changes have been commonly proposed as driving factors
behind the decline of Neanderthals in Europe. The Cantabrian region, in northern Iberia, is a …

It has been proposed that climate change and the arrival of modern humans in Europe
affected the disappearance of Neanderthals due to their impact on trophic resources; …

What role did fluctuations play in biomass availability for secondary consumers in the
disappearance of Neanderthals and the survival of modern humans? To answer this, we …

The Muslim expansion in the Mediterranean basin was one the most relevant and rapid
cultural changes in human history. This expansion reached the Iberian Peninsula with the …

Observation of high-resolution terrestrial palaeoecological series can decipher relationships
between past climatic transitions, their effects on ecosystems and wildfire cyclicity. Here we …

Abstract Here we describe LegacyClimate 1.0, a dataset of the reconstruction of the mean
July temperature (T July), mean annual temperature (T ann), and annual precipitation (P …

To reconstruct changes in vegetation, temperature, and sediment geochemistry through the
last 6.5 cal ka BP, in the Subcarpathian belt of the Eastern Carpathians (Romania), pollen …

Precipitation is a key climate parameter of vegetation and ecosystems in the Iberian
Peninsula. Here, we use a regional pollen–climate calibration model and fossil pollen data …
