Fagus sylvatica is one of the most representative trees of the European deciduous
broadleaved forests, yet the impact of changing climatic conditions and anthropogenic …

Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

The eastern Mediterranean, with its long archaeological and historical records, provides a
unique opportunity to study human responses to climate variability. We review paleoclimate …

In the Mediterranean there is often no clear time gap separating an early-Holocene period of
nature-dominated environmental change from a human-dominated late-Holocene one. This …

Mediterranean fluvial hydrology is characterised by decadal-to-multi-centennial length wet
and dry episodes with abrupt transitions related to changes in atmospheric circulation. Since …

Paleoecology can provide valuable insights into the ecology of species that complement
observation and experiment‐based assessments of climate impact dynamics. New …

On the basis of a multi-proxy approach and a strategy combining lacustrine and marine
records along a north–south transect, data collected in the central Mediterranean within the …

The relatively warm climate conditions prevailing today in the Mediterranean region limit
cold geomorphological processes only to the highest mountain environments. However …

High-resolution isotopic analyses were performed on RL4 flowstone from Renella Cave
(Alpi Apuane, central Italy), a speleothem studied previously at low resolution. The new data …

This paper provides a synthesis of available palynological data from central Mediterranean
lacustrine records, studying the causes of the important vegetation changes which occurred …
