Holocene history of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) woodlands in the Ebro Basin (NE Spain): Climate-biased or human-induced?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the past distribution of Aleppo pine woodlands in the Ebro Basin, Northeastern Iberia, from the Mesolithic to Modern times based on wood charcoal data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the distribution index to estimate the heterogeneity of the palaeoenvironmental distribution of each taxon and thus its random, uniform or clustered distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a compendium of anthracological, dendro-anthracological and archaeopalyonological data with the objective of investigating the nature and distribution of Aleppo pine on the island of Mallorca and evaluating the possibility that human action could have resulted in the spread of this pine species during the first two millennia of permanent human occupation of the island (c. 2300 cal. BCE-1st-century ACE).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the reconstruction of fuelwood procurement during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in the southern central Pre-Pyrenees (Spain) by combining wood charcoal identification with the application of dendro-anthracological approaches in the archaeological sequence of Esplugon (9.4-6.8 kyrcal BP) (Sabinanigo, Huesca).

TL;DR: The age calibration program, CALIB (Stuiver & Reimer 1986), first made available in 1986 and subsequently modified in 1987 (revision 2.0 and 2.1), has been amended anew as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The age calibration program, CALIB (Stuiver & Reimer 1986), first made available in 1986 and subsequently modified in 1987 (revision 2.0 and 2.1), has been amended anew. The 1993 program (revision 3.0) incorporates further refinements and a new calibration data set covering nearly 22,000 cal yr (≈18,400 14C yr). The new data, and corrections to the previously used data set, derive from a 6-yr (1986–1992) time-scale calibration effort of several laboratories.

TL;DR: The survival of these trees in southern Europe through a warm stage may be at least as important for long-term Qua- ternary survival in Europe as survival during a cold stage.
Abstract: An attempt is made to investigate the nature of cold-stage distributions for those forest trees which today extend to northem Europe. Evidence is taken from the pollen record of the present and earlier interglacials, a model of past climate, modem tree distributions, and physi- ography of southem Europe. The trees occupied mid- altitude sites in the mountains of southem Europe, espe- cially in the westem Balkans and Italy during the last cold stage. These areas would have had a suitable climate, and it is argued that the trees could easily have survived there at densities low enough to escape detection in the pollen record. Most taxa which spread north at the beginning of an interglacial become extinct in the northern part of their ranges, and do not retreat south at the end of the interglacial. The survival of these trees in southern Europe through a warm stage may be at least as important for long-term Qua- ternary survival in Europe as survival during a cold stage.
