“…The climate trend reconstructed at Lago Trifoglietti during the Holocene is consistent with closest sites such as Lake Preola in Sicily (see Peyron et al, 2012) and with the estimates obtained for a marine core located in the Gulf of Salerno (Fig. 9c) by Di Donato et al (2008). These curves also seem in agreement with the fact that at present the natural populations of Mediterranean Abies live in areas where mean annual precipitations are above 1000 mm.…”

“…This is supported by increases in annual precipitation (Fig. 9c, C106, Di Donato et al, 2008) and summer precipitation . This phase also coincides with a reduction in forest cover at Trifoglietti, which can also be affected by a bias in AP wa percentages.…”

“…We have chosen two "standard" methods based on different ecological concepts: the Modern Analogues Technique (MAT, Guiot, 1990), and the Weighted Average Partial Least Squares regression (WAPLS, ter Braak and Juggins, 1993). These methods are usually applied to reconstruct climate changes in Mediterranean area during the Lateglacial or the Holocene (e.g., Davis and Brewer, 2009;Di Donato et al, 2008;Joannin et al, 2011Joannin et al, , 2012Peyron et al, 2011;Combourieu Nebout et al, 2012). The WAPLS NMDS/GAM is a true transfer function based on a calibration between environmental variables and modern pollen assemblages whereas the MAT does not require real calibration.…”

“…Southern Italy is a place where climate and human influences are superimposed, with (1) orbitally induced long-term climate changes and possible short-term time-transgressive climate oscillations developing according to latitude (Di Rita and Magri, 2009), and (2) major cultural changes such as the Neolithic expansion in southeastern Italy between 9000 and 8000 cal BP and in south-western Italy between 8000 and (Ariztegui et al, 2000 and references therein), Lago Battaglia (Caroli and Caldara, 2007), Lago Alimini Piccolo (Di Rita and Magri, 2009), Lago Grande di Monticchio (Allen et al, 2002), C106 (Di Donato et al, 2008), Grotta di Latronico (Colonese et al, 2010), Canolo Nuovo (Schneider, 1985), Lago di Pergusa (Sadori and Narcisi, 2001), Biviere di Gela (Noti et al, 2009), Grotta di Carburangeli (Frisia et al, 2006), Gorgo Basso ), Lago Preola (Magny et al, 2011b;Calò et al, 2012), AD91-17 (Sangiorgi et al, 2003), BS7938 (Sbaffi et al, 2004), MD90-917 (Siani et al, 2012).…”

Pollen-based reconstruction of Holocene vegetation and climate in southern Italy: the case of Lago Trifoglietti

Abstract.A high-resolution pollen record from Lago Trifoglietti in Calabria (southern Italy) provides new insights into the paleoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic changes which characterise the Holocene period in the southern Italy. The chronology is based on 11 AMS radiocarbon dates from terrestrial organic material. The Holocene history of the vegetation cover shows the persistence of an important and relatively stable Fagus forest present over that entire period, offering a rare example of a beech woodstand able to withstand climate changes for more than 11 000 yr. Probably in relation with early Holocene dry climate conditions which af-

Although these records vary in temporal and taxonomic resolution, they show a general pattern of forest expansion linked to warming climates in the Holocene, as well as the influence of millennial-scale climate variability on continental paleoenvironments.…”

Holocene vegetation and climate changes in the central Mediterranean inferred from a high-resolution marine pollen record (Adriatic Sea)

The high-resolution multiproxy study of the Adriatic marine core MD 90-917 provides new insights to reconstruct vegetation and regional climate changes over the southcentral Mediterranean during the Younger Dryas (YD) and Holocene. Pollen records show the rapid forest colonization of the Italian and Balkan borderlands and the gradual installation of the Mediterranean association during the Holocene. Quantitative estimates based on pollen data provide Holocene precipitations and temperatures in the Adriatic Sea using a multi-method approach. Clay mineral ratios from the same core reflect the relative contributions of riverine (illite and smectite) and eolian (kaolinite) contributions to the site, and thus act as an additional proxy with which to evaluate precipitation changes in the Holocene. Vegetation climate reconstructions show the response to the Preboreal oscillation (PBO), most likely driven by changes in temperature and seasonal precipitation, which is linked to increasing river inputs from Adriatic rivers recorded by increase in clay mineral contribution to marine sediments. Pollen-inferred temperature declines during the early-mid Holocene, then increases during the mid-late Holocene, similar to southwestern Mediterranean climatic patterns during the Holocene. Several short vegetation and climatic events appear in the record, indicating the sensitivity of vegetation in the region to millennial-scale variability. Reconstructed summer precipitation shows a regional maximum (170-200 mm) between 8000 and 7000 similar to the general pattern across southern Europe. Two important shifts in vegetation occur at 7700 cal yr BP (calendar years before present) and between 7500 and 7000 cal yr BP and are correlated with increased river inputs around the Adriatic Basin respectively from the northern (7700 event) and from the central Adriatic borderlands (7500-7000 event). During the mid-Holocene, the wet summers lead to permanent moisture all year resulting in a homogeneous seasonal precipitation regime. After 6000 cal yr BP, summer precipitation decreases towards present-day values while winter precipitation rises regularly showing the setting up of Mediterranean climate conditions. Multiproxy evidence from core MD 90-917 provides a deeper understanding of the role of precipitation and particularly the seasonality of precipitation in mediating vegetation change in the central Mediterranean during the Holocene
