“…1). Their interpretations were hotly debated by Otvos (2005aOtvos ( , 2006Goman and Leigh, 2005), who instead argued for "arid episodes" during the early and middle Holocene, and suggested that bottomlands may have remained moist while uplands were dry during the arid phases. The touted moisture-loving beech (Fagus) of Watts (1980), however, is continuously present in small amounts until about 6 ka at White Pond and Clear Pond (Fig.…”

“…Conversely, Otvos (2004Otvos ( , 2006 argues for several early to mid-Holocene "hypsithermal-altithermal" intervals of increased aridity in northwestern Florida, Alabama, and southeastern Louisiana based largely on dune fields (see Goman and Leigh (2006) for an alternative view). Driese et al (2008) also postulate multiple mid-Holocene warming and drying events based on carbon isotope and multi-element data from several southeastern Tennessee floodplain soil profiles.…”

Sedimentary Proxy Evidence of a Mid-Holocene Hypsithermal Event in the Location of a Current Warming Hole, North Carolina, USA

A wetland deposit from the southern Appalachian mountains of North Carolina, USA, has been radiocarbon dated and shows continuous deposition from the early Holocene to the present. Non-coastal records of Holocene paleoenvironments are rare from the southeastern USA. Increased stable carbon isotope ratios (?13C) of sedimentary organic matter and pollen percentages indicate warm, dry early- to mid-Holocene conditions. This interpretation is also supported by n-alkane biomarker data and bulk sedimentary C/N ratios. These warm, dry conditions coincide with a mid-Holocene hypsithermal, or altithermal, documented elsewhere in North America. Our data indicate that the southeastern USA warmed concurrently with much of the rest of the continent during the mid-Holocene. If the current "warming hole" in the southeastern USA persists, during a time of greenhouse gas-induced warming elsewhere, it will be anomalous both in space and time.
