Paleoclimas e historia de la vegetación cuaternaria en España a través del análisis polínico. Viejas falacias y nuevos paradigmas.
Abstract
.- Quaternary pollen-analytical data from Iberia are revised with particular emphasis in Upper Pleistocene and Holocene sequences. Critical remarks are provided as regards interstadials, glacial refugia, Late-Glacial and Holocene angiosperm developments, and the possible role of man on late Holocene vegetation changes. Pollen sequences from Atlantic, continental and Mediterranean sites are compared. Additional aspects discussed are: the validity of archaeopalynological records, conflicts with the floristic-phytosociological interpretation of plant successions, the equilibrium paradigm and its connection with autogenic processes, home-field advantage, and chaos.Downloads
