“…Pollen records obtained from the Mediterranean region have provided a framework to identify climatically-related vegetation changes that can be used to correlate the evolution of the Mediterranean climate with global climatic cycles (Suc and Zagwijn, 1983;Combourieu-Nebout and Vergnaud Grazzini, 1991;Mommersteeg et al, 1995;Tzedakis et al, 1997Tzedakis et al, , 2003Subally et al, 1999;Okuda et al, 2002;Suc and Popescu, 2005). From these reconstructions it is clear that the Mediterranean vegetation experienced major modifications during the Early Pleistocene (Suc, 1984;Combourieu-Nebout, 1990Capraro et al, 2005).…”

International audienceVegetation inherited from a Pliocene subtropical climate evolved through obliquity oscillations and global cooling leading to modern conditions. An integrated, highly time-resolved record of pollen and stable isotopes (δ18O and δ13C of Globigerina bulloides) was obtained to understand vegetation responses to Early Pleistocene climate changes. Continental and marine responses are compared in the Central Mediterranean region with a particular consideration of environmental changes during anoxic events. Pollen data illustrate vegetation dynamics as follows: [1] development of mesothermic elements (warm and humid conditions); [2] expansion of mid- and high-altitude elements (cooler but still humid conditions); and [3] strengthening of steppe and herb elements (cooler and dry conditions). These successions correlate with precession. δ18O variations recorded by Globigerina bulloides define two cycles (MIS 43-40) related to obliquity. At northern low- to mid-latitudes, the pollen signal records temperature and wetness changes related to precession even during global climate changes induced by obliquity. This may result in unexpected increasing wetness during glacial periods, which has to be considered specific to the Central and Eastern Mediterranean region. Lastly, an analysis of anoxic events reveals that enhanced runoff is indicated by increasing frequency of the riparian trees Liquidambar and Zelkova

“…The immigration of Quercus changed the forest composition, which is reflected by the increasing values of Miconia, Weinmannia, Urticaceae and tree ferns (Cyatheaceae). Imbrie, 1985;Jansen et al, 1986;Chuey et al, 1987;Kukla et al, 1990;Mommersteeg et al, 1995). Regarding the low Quercus percentages (1-2.5%) in the core interval from 92 to 72 m (ca.…”
