“…This transition correlates with a climatic shift towards cold conditions, detected at 2.8 ka cal BP over the North Atlantic (van Geel et al, 1996;Bond et al, 1997). For the Avila Range, directly to the west of the Jarama catchment, López-Sáez et al (2009) documented an abrupt climatic change at 2.8 ka cal BP, leading to a transition from arid and warm conditions to a cold and humid period resulting in a century-long ecological crises (Fig. 10o).…”

“…Si en las primeras fases del Bronce Final se produjo un aumento considerable de la humedad (Burakov et al 2005;López-Sáez et al 2014), es también posible que en torno al siglo IX a. C. el clima sufriera un nuevo deterioro (Jaouadi et al 2016). Hay que tener en cuenta que la fecha proporcionada por nuestra muestra se sitúa antes de la transición al Subat-lántico y aunque, al menos en áreas más septentrionales, se ha planteado que este no solo implica condiciones más frías sino también más húmedas entre 850 y 750 a. C. (López-Sáez et al 2009), la disminución de precipitaciones llega hasta el 600/500 a. C. cuando se asientan las condiciones frías, como se ha indicado para otras áreas (Gaigalas 2004;Van Mourik y Slotboom 2018).…”

Se presentan en este estudio los resultados de los análisis isotópicos realizados sobre una muestra de restos humanos de la necrópolis calcolítica de Los Millares. Para proceder a su discusión se ha realizado previamente su contextualización cronológica a partir de una serie de dataciones radiocarbónicas y la revisión de la cronología relativa de los sepulcros. Las dataciones muestran el uso de la necrópolis megalítica durante todo el periodo de ocupación de Los Millares, al menos desde 3100/3000 hasta 2200/2100 cal AC. Los resultados del análisis isotópico apoyan las propuestas sobre un incremento en la aridez desde el 2400/2300 cal AC. Además, en una dieta dominada por los recursos terrestres en la que las proteínas suelen proceder del consumo de herbívoros, existe una cierta variabilidad con individuos que pueden haber consumido otros recursos.

At Brezoso and El Perro, Betula slightly spread following this fire episode alongside Erica under low anthropogenic impact, just indicated by minor increases in Cardueae, Asteraceae, and Poaceae.…”

Long-term fire ecology can help to better understand the major role played by fire in driving vegetation composition and structure over decadal to millennial timescales, along with climate change and human agency, especially in fire-prone areas such as the Mediterranean basin. Investigating past ecosystem dynamics in response to changing fire activity, climate, and land use, and how these landscape drivers interact in the long-term is needed for efficient nature management, protection, and restoration. The Toledo Mountains of central Spain are a mid-elevation mountain complex with scarce current anthropic intervention located on the westernmost edge of the Mediterranean basin. These features provide a perfect setting to study patterns of late Holocene fire activity and landscape transformation. Here, we have combined macroscopic charcoal analysis with palynological data in three peat sequences (El Perro, Brezoso, and Viñuelas mires) to reconstruct fire regimes during recent millennia and their linkages to changes in vegetation, land use, and climatic conditions. During a first phase (5000–3000 cal. BP) characterized by mixed oak woodlands and low anthropogenic impact, climate exerted an evident influence over fire regimes. Later, the data show two phases of increasing human influence dated at 3000–500 cal. BP and 500 cal. BP–present, which translated into significant changes in fire regimes increasingly driven by human activity. These results contribute to prove how fire regimes have changed along with human societies, being more related to land use and less dependent on climatic cycles.
