“…We should also note that this trend of extension is also compatible with the stress tensors obtained in the Cerdagne area by Cruset et al (2020). NW-SE faults could therefore have contributed to the uplift of the Cerdagne basin during Middle Miocene (Calvet et al, 2021;Huyghe et al, 2020;Tosal et al, 2021).…”

“…6 Ma). On the contrary, Tosal et al (2021) recently proposed, from the study of leaf taxa, that the Cerdanya Basin was located at an elevation comprised between 1100 and 1500 m already during the Tortonian, although this estimate may reflect local conditions and should be confirmed by additional taxa analyses.…”

“…Rather, the climatic requirements of past plant taxa should be sought on empirical evidence, that is, on the case-by-case analysis of their fossils in relation to independent paleoclimatic proxies, usually of physico-chemical nature, such as elemental analysis, stable isotopes or biomarkers or leafmargin analysis, among others (Elias, 2020). For example, paleoclimatic reconstructions using leaf-margin analysis have recently been carried out in the Late Miocene of the nearby La Cerdanya Basin (Tosal et al, 2021) and could be attempted in the VPB. The same is true for the taxonomic composition of past communities, which should be derived from the analysis of fossils themselves -for which the FC approach is able to provide direct evidence -rather than from extant assemblages.…”

In the Mediterranean region, the study of fossil pollen has provided a comprehensive spatiotemporal paleoclimatic and paleovegetational picture of the Neogene flora and vegetation. The NW Mediterranean sector is a reference area for the study of vertebrate evolution, especially during the Middle Miocene, but paleofloristic and paleovegetational patterns are much less known, which hinders placing faunal evolution in the appropriate paleoenvironmental context. Here, the existing palynological evidence for this area is reviewed to identify the main knowledge gaps and to devise possible future developments. The few palynological records available have provided quantitative paleotemperature and paleoprecipitation estimates, along with general paleovegetation reconstructions, using the modern-analog (MA) approach. The suitability of this method is discussed here and the use of a complementary method, the fossil community (FC) approach – which has been demonstrated to be useful in other areas and time intervals – is proposed and illustrated using the available raw data. The MA approach is consistent with the available paleoclimatic evidence but special care should be placed on the reliability of overly precise quantitative estimates and the latent danger of circularity when analyzing the biotic responses to climatic changes. The FC approach is considered to be more suitable for reconstructing past communities because it requires less unwarranted assumptions. Additional fieldwork efforts are needed in the search for new pollen records, with an emphasis on more complete ecosystem reconstructions using both floral and faunal evidence.
