TL;DR: In this paper, the four longest European pollen records were linked and a terrestrial sequence of vegetation events and a coherent stratigraphic scheme for the last 500,000 years was derived, showing that the pollen sequences contain a higher degree of climate sensitivity than the oxygen isotope record.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of glacial refugia and migration pathways on the modern genetic diversity of Pinus sylvestris in Europe and found that the long-term isolation in the glacial flocus and the migrational process during the Holocene have played a major role in shaping the modern diversity of P sylvesterris in European regions.

TL;DR: In this article, magnetic susceptibility measurements, lithofacies characterization and pollen analysis were carried out to obtain a better reconstruction of the past 11,000 years, using AMS radiocarbon dates on macrofossils or bulk sediment, and by a tephra correlative with a late-Holocene explosion from the Etna volcano.

TL;DR: In the Mediterranean region, there is often no clear time gap separating an early-Holocene period of nature-dominated environmental change from a human-dominated late-holocene one as discussed by the authors, which has been the subject of debates that have often been polarised between support for climatic causation and those favouring anthropogenic explanations for changes in vegetation, river flooding, wildfire regimes, etc.
